The University of Kentucky is committed to a working and learning environment that is free from harassment and discrimination and is committed to fostering a safe and just environment for its students, employees, and visitors. The University of Kentucky does not tolerate discrimination in any form. Harassment, discrimination, retaliation and sexual misconduct are destructive and contradict our core values. Participants in this conference must comply with our Policies on Discrimination, Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct. Please review the following information regarding our policies, as well as how to report any violations of these policies, how to make a complaint, and how any complaints will be resolved.

​

To report incidents of discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct to the Conference organizers, please use the MARC Discrimination, Harassment, or Sexual Misconduct Reporting Form. This report can be submitted to any of the Conference organizers listed in the Conference Website and printed Program, or emailed to MARC_2027@uky.edu.

​

In addition, you can file a complaint of discrimination with the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) through https://www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/filing-a-complaint/index.html

​

Please be aware that filing a complaint with the MARC organizers is not required before filing a complaint with HHS OCR, and that seeking assistance from the conference organizers in no way prohibits filing complaints with HHS OCR.
