I am inspired by the opportunities before us and the collective impact we can achieve together. The year ahead holds great promise for advancing education, research, and clinical care in ways that will improve lives across our communities, guided always by our unwavering commitment to fairness and respect for all.
In keeping with these values, I reaffirm our commitment to equal education and employment opportunities at UTHealth Houston regardless of one’s race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or any other basis prohibited by law. Discriminatory harassment of any kind is strictly prohibited.
UTHealth Houston leadership is committed to ensuring that all aspects of employment, education, and university program participation remain free from unlawful discrimination and harassment. As part of this shared responsibility, all employees are required to comply with institutional policies and ensure any actions involving faculty, staff, trainees, and students are free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
Please join me in continuing to foster a climate of mutual respect across our campuses. To support this, please visit the Handbook of Operating Procedures (HOOP) to review the following policies and related procedures:
HOOP Policy No. 183
