Notice of Non-Discrimination 

Snow College is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our community, including students, faculty, staff, and visitors. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or any other legally protected characteristic. 

In accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, Snow College prohibits discrimination in all its programs, activities, and employment practices. This applies to admissions, educational programs, athletics, employment, and access to facilities. 

We are dedicated to fostering a culture of respect, equity, and inclusivity where all individuals are treated with dignity and fairness. Any form of discrimination or harassment is not tolerated and will be addressed promptly and effectively. 

In addition, Title IX of the Education Amendments specifically prohibits sex discrimination in federally supported programs. In order to comply with Title IX, Snow College affirms its commitment to this policy by prohibiting any form of sexual harassment, which includes but is not limited to acts or attempts of dating and relationship violence; domestic violence; discrimination or hostile environment based on sex, pregnancy, pregnancy-related conditions, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression (including intimidation and hazing/bullying); sexual harassment; sexual assault (including non-consensual sexual contact or non-consensual sexual intercourse); sexual exploitation (including engaging in sexual trafficking); and stalking. 

The aforementioned Federal laws prohibit covered entities from retaliating against a person who files a charge of discrimination, participates in a discrimination proceeding, or otherwise opposes an unlawful employment practice. 

Any person may report sex discrimination, including sexual harassment (whether or not the person reporting is the person alleged to be the victim of conduct that could constitute sex discrimination or sexual harassment), in person, by mail, by telephone, or by electronic mail, using the contact information listed for the Title IX Coordinator, or by any other means that results in the Title IX Coordinator receiving the person's verbal or written report. Such a report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours) by using the telephone number, electronic mail address, or by mail to the office address listed for the Title IX Coordinator.  A grievance process is set forth in the Snow College Title IX Policy Prohibiting Discrimination and Sexual Harassment which contains the College's grievance procedures and process including how to report or file a complaint of sex discrimination, how to report or file a formal complaint of sexual harassment, and how the College will respond. 

If you are an applicant for admission or employment, student, employee, or are a union or professional organization holding collective bargaining or professional agreements with Snow College or are otherwise connected with Snow College or any of Snow’s campuses and wish to report sex discrimination, including sexual harassment or have questions about Title IX or concerns about possible sex discrimination (i.e. on the basis of sex or gender, gender identity and/or expression, sexual orientation, pregnancy, etc.) or sexual misconduct (as stated above), please contact either of the following offices:
