Policy Against Intolerance

The conduct of UMass Amherst employees is guided, in part, by federal law, state law, University policy including policies enacted by the University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees.

The University of Massachusetts Policy Against Intolerance reads "The Board of Trustees denounces intolerance which interferes with those rights guaranteed by law or policy, and insists that such conduct has no place in a community of learning. We also recognize the obligation of the University to protect the rights of free inquiry and expression, and nothing in the Resolution in Support of Pluralism or Policy Against Intolerance shall be construed or applied so as to abridge the exercise of rights under the Constitution of the United States and other Federal and State laws."
