Statement from University of Colorado President Mark Kennedy, June 15

The decision today by the United States Supreme Court that civil rights law barring sex discrimination in the workplace applies to gay, lesbian and transgender workers affirms and aligns with the University of Colorado’s values, as well as with its policies that protect employees on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. Our people are our most important asset at CU, and this decision confirms what we have always believed and have codified in university policy – that discrimination has no place at our university.
