This publication is not a contract between the University of Louisville and any member of the student body, faculty, or general public.
The University of Louisville is an equal-opportunity institution and does not discriminate against persons because of race, religion, sex, age, handicap, color, citizenship or national origin. If responses from the unit staff are unsatisfactory, inquiries or complaints about discrimination including sexual harassment or handicap access can be made to Employee Relations and Compliance by calling (502) 852–6258.
The Redbook is the official statement of the organizational structure, the rules of governance and procedures, and university-wide policies of the University of Louisville.
