VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and other applicable federal and
state statutes, all recruiting, hiring, training, and promoting for
all job classifications will be administered without regard to
race, color, ancestry, age, sex, national origin, pregnancy or
childbirth, disability, military veteran status or other applicable
status protected by law, including state of employment protected
classes. It is, therefore, our policy and intention to evaluate all
employees and prospective employees strictly according to the
requirements of the job. All personnel related activities such as
compensation, benefits, transfers, job classification, assignments,
working conditions, educational assistance, terminations, layoffs,
and return from layoffs, and all other terms, conditions and
privileges of employment will be administered without regard to

religious discrimination requirements. The University’s hiring
practices and EEO discrimination practices are in full compliance
with both federal and state law. Federal law creates an exception
to the “religion” component of the employment discrimination laws
for religious organizations (including educational institutions),
and permits them to give employment practice preference to members
of their own religious beliefs.
