Equal Employment
Statement:
Marist College is committed to creating a diverse workforce
on our campus by ensuring that barriers to equal employment opportunity and
upward mobility do not exist here. To this end, the College will strive to
achieve the full and fair participation of minorities, women, people with
disabilities, and any other protected groups found to be under represented.
Equal opportunity means employment, development, and
promotion of individuals without consideration of race, color, disability,
religion, age, sex, marital status, national origin, sexual orientation, or
veteran status unless there is a bona fide occupational requirement which
excludes persons in one of these protected groups. The College will review its
employment policies and procedures to ensure that barriers which may
unnecessarily exclude protected groups are identified and eliminated. The
College will also explore alternative approaches if any policy or practice is
found to have a negative impact on protected groups.
Marist's policy of non-discrimination includes not only
employment practices but also extends to all services and programs provided by
the College. It shall be considered a violation of College policy for any
member of the community to discriminate against any individual or group with
respect to employment or attendance at Marist College on the basis of race,
color, disability, religion, age, sex, marital status, national origin, sexual
orientation, veteran status, or any other condition established by law.
