Montclair State is an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution. In compliance with relevant federal and state civil rights legislation, Montclair State does not
discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, religion, national origin, age, or physical capability in the operation of its educational program and activities
(admission, access to programs and course offerings, competitive and intramural athletics, counseling, student and other employment, use of facilities, and campus
sponsored extracurricular activities). Inquiries relating to equal opportunity/affirmative action issues may be directed to the offices of Student Development and
Campus Life or Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action.
Montclair State recognizes its responsibility to foster an atmosphere of respect, understanding and good will among all individuals and groups, with special sensitivity
to those most likely to be subjected to disrespect, abuse and misunderstanding because of their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual preference, age or disabling
condition. The goal is to create an unbiased community where all individuals feel free to express themselves in ways that are appropriate in a multi-ethnic and multi-
cultural society, and to pursue their work and study in an atmosphere which values individuality and diversity. Underlying this statement is a respect for differences
of opinion and freedom of speech. We must be diligent, however, to assure that differences do no degenerate into name-calling or insulting of individuals or groups.
Such behavior can be destructive of courtesy and civility and endangers the environment needed for engaging in productive dialogue. Montclair State condemns any
behavior which devalues persons and endangers the learning and work environment. Such acts include, but are not limited to, threats or acts of physical violence,
verbal abuse, harassment, and discrimination. Montclair State enourages the practice of this human relations statement in every aspect of campus life.
Montclair State is subject to NJS A 26:3D- 1 5 through 2 1 o n smoking in public places (Health and Vital Statistics). In compliance with this law, the President approved
a revised smoking regulation which was endorsed by the Montclair State's Senate on October 27, 1993 upon the recommendation of the ad hoc Smoking Cessation
Committee. The regulation prohibits the smoking or carrying of lighted cigars, cigarettes, pipes, or any matter or substance which contains tobacco in all indoor spaces
on the Montclair State campus. Indoor smoking is permitted only in private, fully-enclosed student residence hall rooms. If the room is j ointly occupied, smoking
is permitted only by consensus of all individuals occupying the room. Any member of the campus community may ask an individual to comply wih the provisions
of this regulation or may file a complaint with Campus Police and Security, who may issue a summons. Any individual who fails to comply is s ubject to a f ine (typically
$25-$200) as determined by the local court where the summons is filed.
