The Rockefeller University is an Equal Opportunity Employer with a policy that forbids discrimination in employment (which includes hiring, terms and conditions, promotion, and termination) on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, citizenship status, marital status, sexual orientation, military status, veteran status, or disability. The Administration has an Affirmative Action Program to increase the employment of women and members of protected classes in all areas of the University's activities.

Complaints of violations of the policy may be brought to the attention of an employee's immediate supervisor or the Director of Human Resources. Employees may choose at any time to file a formal grievance in accordance with the University's Employee Grievance Procedure. The University's policy also prohibits retaliation for the filing of such complaints.
