WELCOME TO TAMIU
Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) is committed to providing a welcoming educational and working environment for all members of its community and seeks to ensure its campus is free from discrimination, sexual harassment (which includes sexual violence, rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking), and related retaliation. Such misconduct not only infringes on individual fundamental rights and personal dignity but also violates federal and state law.
TAMIU does not discriminate or permit harassment against any individual on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status in admissions, educational programs, or employment.
This website serves as a resource for students, employees, and third parties who are part of the TAMIU community. TAMIU encourages any student, employee, or third party who thinks he/she has been subjected to discrimination, sexual harassment (which includes sexual violence, rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking), or related retaliation by another student, employee, or third party to immediately report the incident to any of the individuals listed below.
