Discriminatory Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on an individual's protected status and where: 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment or academic standing; or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work or educational environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.

If you wish to report discrimination and/or discriminatory harassment, please complete the Discrimination and/or Discriminatory Harassment Reporting Form or contact the Assistant Vice President of Institutional Access directly at 973-596-3466 or by email at institutional-access@njit.edu.
