Chosen Name Policy
SUNY Oswego is committed to acknowledging the diverse and inclusive ethos of our campus. The Chosen Name policy is intended to align with current SUNY guidance with the purpose of encouraging an environment for personal expression within community standards.
Non-Discrimination Policy and Complaint Procedure
SUNY Oswego values the contributions to learning for its members that result from maintaining a diverse student body, faculty, and staff. SUNY Oswego will comply with all applicable equal employment opportunity / non-discrimination laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, creed, age, disability, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, familial status, pregnancy, predisposing genetic characteristics (including an individual's ancestry, country of origin, or country of origin of parents, family members, or ancestors), military status, domestic violence victim status, criminal conviction, or any other characteristic protected by applicable local, state, or federal law.
The goal of SUNY Oswego is to nurture members’ abilities and capacities for appreciation of living and working together in a diverse learning environment. Members must not expose others to discriminatory acts of any form. Employees, students, applicants, or other members of the College community (including, but not limited to, vendors, visitors, and guests) may not be subjected to harassment that is prohibited by law or treated adversely based upon a protected characteristic.
Harassment based on any protected characteristic that is sufficiently severe, pervasive, or persistent so as to interfere with, or limit, the ability of an individual to participate in or benefit from the educational institution’s programs or activities, or terms, conditions or status of employment is prohibited.
Additionally, Federal law prohibits retaliation. Adverse action taken against any individual who files a complaint, or who assists or participates in any manner in an investigation process, or hearing, is against the law. Members of the campus community who experience retaliation should contact the Affirmative Action Officer or Title IX Coordinator, as appropriate.

Members of the college community who experience or observe discrimination should immediately report their experience or observation to:
Anneke McEvoy
Affirmative Action Officer

SUNY Gender-Based Violence and the Workplace Policy
The State University of New York (“State University” or “SUNY”) is committed to maintaining campuses and a workplace free from domestic and other forms of gender-based violence. SUNY in its continuing effort to facilitate a safe and welcoming environment in education and employment, and in support of federal and state gender-based violence prevention legislation, has adopted the following policy in furtherance of such efforts.
Domestic violence and other forms of gender-based violence impact the lives of thousands of New Yorkers each day, with tragic, destructive, and often fatal results. The impact of such violence transcends beyond the various locations at which such incidents take place and are felt in the workplace. The safety of victims, co-workers, and clients have the potential to be compromised.
SUNY recognizes that domestic and gender-based violence occurs within a wide spectrum of relationships and is committed to taking every appropriate measure to support employees who may be experiencing victimization in a survivor-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive manner.
