Equal Employment Opportunity and Non-discrimination Statement. The Florida State University is committed to a policy of non-discrimination and prohibits unlawful employment discrimination based on race, creed, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, veteran's or marital status. Unlawful discrimination is contrary to the University's standards of civility and collegiality, which recognize the dignity and worth of each person. Unlawful discrimination is a violation of federal and state laws, and University rules and policies. Unlawful discrimination by faculty, staff, students, visitors and contractors is not condoned in the administration of university programs and services. In pursuing its mission of excellence as a comprehensive, graduate-research university with a liberal arts base, it is the policy of the University to create and maintain a positive work and educational environment conducive to the betterment of the University and, thus, society at large, in the interest of public service and international education. The Florida State University realizes that there is advantage in incorporating diversity from all realms: cultural, positional, social, among others. Further, it is the aim of the University in all lawful ways to carry its stance by: removing barriers that restrict people from realizing their potential; implementing policies, procedures, and programs that ensure opportunities are available equitably to all; building a multidimensional, diversified workforce reflective of the community; fostering leadership and direction that guarantees an accountable, highly participatory, effective institution of higher learning at all levels; and communicating the same to all in various formats as applicable. The Office of the Dean of the Faculties within the Office of Provost/Vice President, Academic Affairs, serves the University in helping to create an ideal educational environment that encompasses fairness, respect and trust, that is free from mistreatment, discrimination and harassment, through a flexible, yet, balanced approach as it strives to achieve the University's strategic options. For more information, please contact Dr. Anne E. Rowe, Dean of the Faculties at (850) 644-1083, or via e-mail at arowe@mailer.fsu.edu. Human Resources/Office of Diversity Enhancement serves the University by facilitating or otherwise ensuring compliance of its education programs and employment activities with state and federal equal opportunity, equity and affirmative action regulations through collaboration with all appropriate campus offices.

HIV/AIDS Policy. Students, employees, and applicants for admission or employment at The Florida State University who have or who may become infected with the HIV virus will not be excluded from enrollment or employment or restricted in their normal responsibilities and access to University services or facilities due to their HIV/AIDS status, unless individual medically-based judgments establish that exclusion or restriction is necessary for the welfare of the individual or of other members of the University community. That is, the University will not discriminate against otherwise qualified HIV-infected applicants, students, or employees. The Florida State University Committee on HIV/AIDS is responsible for monitoring developments with regard to HIV/AIDS, acting upon and administering the policies of the State of Florida, Division of Colleges and Universities and the University concerning HIV/AIDS and coordinating the University's efforts in educating the University community on the nature and prevention of the disease. In addition, The Florida State University Committee on HIV/AIDS meets as needed to consider special problems related to HIV/AIDS which require University action. The University will be guided in its implementation of this policy by current authoritative medical information, applicable federal and state law, the State of Florida, Division of Colleges and Universities' HIV/AIDS Policy, and the guidelines suggested by the Centers for Disease Control, the Public Health Service, the American College Health Association, and the Florida Department of Health. The Florida State University has designated HIV/AIDS counselors who are available to the University community. These counselors are: Celeste Paquette, M.D., Medical Director Thagard Student Health Center, (850) 644-2026; and James Hennessey, Ph.D. Student Counseling, 644-2003.
