What is Race/Color discrimination?

Conduct that is directed at an individual because that individual’s race/color, and that subjects the individual to differential treatment so as to interfere with or limit the ability of the individual to participate in, or benefit from, the services, activities, or privileges provided by the University or otherwise adversely affects the individual’s employment or education.
