Oklahoma State University is committed to a program of equal opportunity for all faculty, staff, and students, and will actively carry out all federal and state regulations, and executive orders. No person may be denied employment or admission to the University or to any of its programs or activities, either academic or nonacademic curricular or extracurricular, because of race, ethnicity, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, qualified disability, or veterans status. Moreover, OSU will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, qualified disability, or status as a veteran in any of its practices or procedures. This includes, but is not limited to, admissions, employment, financial aid and educational services.

The University’s Affirmative Action Program reflects the commitment of the University to equal opportunity and outlines the procedures necessary to fulfill this commitment. The Affirmative Action Program complies with the legal requirements of federal and state civil rights laws and implements directives. All employment and admission practices and procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure there is no discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, qualified disability, or status as a veteran.

The University is committed to creating and maintaining a work and academic environment of mutual respect and tolerance that is free of both discrimination and sexual harassment. Discrimination and sexual harassment are unlawful and undermine the freedom of students, faculty, and staff to productively learn and work at the University.
