The University of Carthage is unequivocally committed to providing an environment — for every student, researcher, member of staff, visitor, and partner — that is free from discrimination, harassment, bullying, and victimization in any form. This commitment is not merely a legal obligation: it is a foundational expression of our institutional values and our mission as a public university dedicated to knowledge, human development, and social progress.
This Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy is a companion document to, and an operational instrument of, the University of Carthage's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Plan 2024–2027. Where the EDI Plan establishes the University's overarching strategic commitments and governance framework for equality across all nine protected characteristics, this Policy provides the specific definitions, prohibited conduct standards, reporting procedures, and enforcement mechanisms that give those commitments legal and procedural effect.
Both documents are to be read together and must be interpreted consistently. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the EDI Plan, the more protective provision shall apply.
