Marist University is committed to creating an inclusive workforce

on our campus by ensuring that barriers to equal employment

opportunity and upward mobility do not exist here. To this end, the

University will strive to achieve the full and fair participation

of all members of the Marist community.

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 University will review its employment

policies and procedures to ensure that barriers which may

unnecessarily exclude protected groups are identified and

eliminated. The University 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 University. It shall be considered a violation of University

policy for any member of the community to discriminate against any

individual or group with respect to employment or attendance at

Marist University 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.
