Equal Employment Statement:

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

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

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.
