School of Law Nondiscrimination Policy

  • պ School of Law, motivated by the Christian character of the university of which it is an integral part, recognizes the inherent value and dignity of all members of the human family and celebrates diversity both within and among institutions. The School prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, disability, military status or status as a veteran or disabled veteran. The School maintains its Christian character, but does not discriminate on the basis of religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression except to the extent that applicable law respects its right to act in furtherance of its religious objective. The School fully accepts the teaching of the traditional biblical view with regard to marriage, gender, and sexual conduct outside the bonds of matrimony.  Consistent with those teachings, the School does not discriminate purely on the basis of an individual’s professed sexual orientation or gender identity, but only with regard to accompanying conduct or other actions that undermine the University’s Christian character.  All պ employees and Regent Representatives are expected to share and model the religious commitments and beliefs set forth in the University’s Statement of Faith and Christian Community and Mission Policy.
