Equal Employment Opportunity

Mission Statement

The President of the University of Guam (UOG) is committed to ensuring a work environment free of discrimination and harassment on the basis of any status protected by law, to include: race, sexual orientation, religion, religious creed, age, disability, citizenship status, and national origin,. Administrators, directors, managers and supervisors must inform employees of the policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment, emphasize the policy of zero tolerance, and deal promptly with any problem situations. Each of us is expected to maintain high standards of honesty, integrity and conduct. Discrimination and harassment violate these standards.

Sexual Harassment is a specific form of prohibited harassment and complaints involve sensitive and complex issues. A prompt and effective inquiry into allegations is critical; not only to avoid liability and prevent future harassing behavior, but also to lay the groundwork for successful resolution. A healthy equal opportunity environment does not just happen. It takes commitment and active involvement – by everyone. Ultimately it is not laws, regulations, or policies that create a quality equal opportunity environment, it is people respecting and encouraging other people.
