Bard College is committed to providing a learning and working environment that is free of bias, prejudice, discrimination, and harassment—an environment in which all feel welcome and are treated fairly and with respect. The Office of Title IX and Nondiscrimination is dedicated to preventing, responding to, and remedying any incidents of discrimination and harassment, including gender-based misconduct, throughout Bard and its affiliated programs. The Office ensures that fair, timely, and impartial processes are in place to address all complaints of discrimination and harassment. 
Bard College is committed to ensuring equal access to its educational programs and equal employment without regard to an individual's sex, gender, race, color, national origin, religion, age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, predisposing genetic characteristics, marital status, veteran status, military status, domestic violence victim status, ex-offender status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law. Students, employees, applicants, and other members of Bard College community (including, but not limited to, vendors, visitors, and guests) shall not be subject to discrimination or harassment prohibited by law or otherwise treated adversely based upon a protected characteristic.
