Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)/Unlawful Harassment

RVU is dedicated to the principles of equal employment opportunity. We prohibit unlawful discrimination against applicants or employees on the basis of age 40 and over, race (including traits historically associated with race, such as hair texture and length, protective hairstyles), sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, pregnancy-related conditions, breastfeeding, or medical conditions related to breastfeeding), color, religion, national origin, disability, military status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other class or expression protected by applicable state or local law.   This prohibition includes unlawful harassment based on any of these protected classes.

Unlawful harassment includes verbal or physical conduct that has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. Harassment does not need to be in-person and can occur over electronic media or video meeting platforms, such as Zoom, MS Teams, etc., or other electronic platforms. Actions based on an individual’s protected class, or any other applicable status protected by state or local law will not be tolerated. Prohibited behavior may include but is not limited to harassing or threatening language or conduct in the following forms:

  • Written form such as cartoons, e-mails, posters, drawings, or photographs.
  • Verbal conduct such as epithets, derogatory comments, slurs, or jokes.
  • Physical conduct such as assault or blocking an individual’s movements.

This policy applies to all employees, including managers, supervisors, co-workers, and non-employees such as customers, clients, vendors, consultants, etc.
