  Wright State University is committed to achieving equal opportunity in all aspects of university life. We are proud of the diversity of the university community and strive to make all members of the community feel welcome.
  
  Wright State University does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, national origin, age, or ancestry. In addition, we take affirmative action to recruit and assist members of various racial or ethnic groups, women, Vietnam-era veterans, and persons with disabilities whose ability to achieve academic success might otherwise be unrecognized because of cultural barriers. Our policy is consistent with the various federal and Ohio statutes that prohibit discrimination.
  
  Any questions or comments about the university's policy and any complaint about perceived discrimination may be directed to the director of Affirmative Action Programs, 075 Allyn Hall, (937) 775-3207.
  
  The university's Affirmative Action Plan is maintained in the Office of Affirmative Action Programs. We are a public institution, and the plan is accessible to any member of the public.
  
  In addition, Wright State University is a national leader in accommodating the needs of students with disabilities. Any questions or comments concerning a needed accommodation may be directed to the director of the Office of Disability Services, E186 Student Union, (937) 775-5680.
