Purpose
This policy is to reaffirm the University’s EEO Policy.
Accountability
The Program Director and the University’s Affirmative Action Office are responsible for this policy.
Policy
The University recognizes the value of diversity and is committed to providing appropriate support for all of its student body.
The University reaffirms its policy of conducting admissions, educational, and all related and supporting services in a manner which does not discriminate unlawfully because of a person’s race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, physical or mental handicap, military status, marital status, or other factors prohibited by law. This is the governing principle in student admissions, other student services, and employment related activities.
The University commits itself to a program of affirmative action to encourage the application from minority and women students, to identify and correct the effects of any past discrimination in the provision of educational and related services, and to establish organizational structures and procedures which will assure equal treatment and access to the facilities and educational benefits of the University to all students.
