Non-Discrimination Policy

在波胆网站，平等机会和平权行动是就业和教育不可或缺的一部分，因为我们认识到，大学现在和未来的优势主要基于人才和他们的技能, experience, and potential to develop. The University has a policy of equal opportunity employment, educational opportunities, admissions, 以及范围广泛并得到大学各级支持的平权行动. 

In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Chatham does not discriminate on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, 在其就业实践或其教育计划或活动中的性别认同或表达. The University also prohibits sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, as part of its education programs or activities. Reports of misconduct, questions regarding Title IX, 对违规行为的担忧应直接向第九条协调员提出.

The President’s office, with the assistance of the Human Resources office, 会否监察以确保大学的平权行动政策得到遵守.

Chatham University has adopted this policy on a strictly voluntary basis. 本政策的存在不应被解释为大学的全部或部分录取, 事实上，受保护群体的成员一直或目前没有得到充分利用, concentrated, 或被大学以任何方式歧视，违反联邦法律, state or local fair employment practice laws.
