Equal
Educational Opportunity Policy
The University
of New Mexico is committed to providing equal educational opportunity
and forbids unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion,
national origin, physical or mental disabilities, age, sex, sexual
preference, ancestry, or medical condition. Equal education opportunity
includes: admission, recruitment, extracurricular programs and activities,
housing, health and insurance services and athletics. In keeping with
this policy of equal educational opportunity, the University is committed
to creating and maintaining an atmosphere free from all forms of harassment.
Affirmative
Action Policy
The University of New
Mexico commits itself to a program of affirmative action to increase
access by, and participation of, traditionally under represented
groups in the University's education programs and work force. It
is the policy of the University in the case where a vacant position
falls within a job group which is determined to have underutilization
that the hiring official give preference for selection to a finalist
who is member of the underutilized group, provided his/her qualifications
and past performance are subtantially equal to other finalists.

Inclement
Weather (Snow) Policy
Please
remember that UNM's "Snow Policy"' provides that all offices
and work locations will normally remain open during regular business
or operating hours even if early or late classes are cancelled because
of snow. Only in extreme conditions would the University shut down
and even then, the medical facilities, UNM Police, and other critical
areas would remain open.
In the
event of delays of closures during final exam week, faculty whose
final exams are affected by the delay or closure may elect one of
the three options. Faculty must choose one of the options prior to
final exam week and clearly communicate to their students which option
thy have chosen. The options are:
-
Faculty
may assign as final grades, the current grades that students have
going into final exam week.
-
Faculty
may make provisions for students whose exams are cancelled to
contact them for the scheduling of a make-up exam or alternative
arrangements.
-
Faculty
may, as a last resort, choose to assign incomplete grades.
On days when
there is bad weather, you can listen to local radio and television
stations for information about UNM or call UNM's "Snow Hotline"
(277-SNOW). Information will also be made available on UNM's
voice mail and e-mail systems.
