TTUHSC Commitment and Values
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) is committed to maintaining an educational, working, and visiting environment free from discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct. In accordance with Title VI, Title VII, Title IX, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and other applicable laws, TTUHSC prohibits discrimination based on sex, race, color, national origin, and other protected characteristics.
Title VI prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, and shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance.
A Title VI violation occurs when unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic creates a hostile environment that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to limit or deny a person’s ability to participate in or benefit from a TTUHSC program or activity.
