Christopher Newport University is committed to providing an environment that emphasizes the dignity and worth of every member of its community and that is free from harassment and discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, political affiliation or any other status protected by law. Such an environment is necessary to a healthy learning, working and living atmosphere because discrimination and harassment undermine human dignity and the positive connection among everyone on campus.
