University Policies

ADA Evacuation

The process of safely negotiating an emergency evacuation route can often present difficulties to building occupants who are physically challenged. This policy was devised to enhance the personal safety of persons with disabilities who may require the assistance of others in the event of an emergency evacuation. The purpose for developing the ADA evacuation list is to provide another opportunity for persons experiencing temporary or permanent disabilities to receive assistance during emergency situations.

Discriminatory Harassment

The University of Louisville's Discriminatory Harassment Policy reflects the commitment to maintain a community that is free from harassment of any kind. Harassment of any kind is not acceptable at the university. It is inconsistent with the university's commitment to excellence and respect for all individuals. The university is also committed to protecting the academic freedom and freedom of expression of all members of the university community. Academic freedom and freedom of expression includes, but is not limited to, the expression of ideas, however controversial, in the classroom, residence hall, and in keeping with different responsibilities, in work places elsewhere in the university community. This policy does not attempt to address behaviors that do not constitute Discriminatory Harassment. Offensive behavior that does not violate this policy, may fall under the scope of other University policies, including, but not limited to, the University Code of Conduct, the Discipline Policy PER 5.01, Chapter 4 of the Redbook, or the Code of Student Conduct.
