Consistent with the tripartite mission and institutional goals of Prairie View A & M University and the Division of Business Affairs, our unit mission is to promote and provide a discrimination and harassment free workplace; learning and living environment where every employee, student and visitor is valued as an individual and is treated with respect and dignity regardless of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, sexual orientation or gender identity. This mission is accomplished through compliance, education and intervention.
