The University has an internal policy of non-discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The policy provides that educational and employment decisions should be based on individuals’ abilities and qualifications rather than on irrelevant factors or personal characteristics that have no connection with their academic abilities or job performance. Among the traditional factors which are generally “irrelevant” are age, sex, race, color, national origin, religion, and disability. It is the policy of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that an individuals’ sexual orientation be treated in the same manner.
If you are a student and experience harassment or discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender expression, you may report it through the Office of the Dean of Students or with the Office of the Honor System.

Program in Sexuality Studies
Beginning Fall Semester 2004, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will offer a minor in Sexuality Studies. This minor is designed for students interested in exploring the study of sexual/gender identities - such as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and heterosexual - as well as the full range of human sexual behaviors and identities in diverse cultures and historical periods.
The program is multidisciplinary, drawing on disciplines as wide-ranging as anthropology, biology, cultural studies, economics, genetics, health sciences, history, legal studies, literature, political science, psychology, the visual arts, and sociology to study the varying ways human sexual identities and experiences can be constructed and interpreted.
