Statement of Equal Opportunity

Leighton University obligates itself to a policy of nondiscrimination and equal opportunity for all students irrespective of race, gender, color, national origin or ancestry, creed, age, marital status, disability, or veteran status. Leighton University also is committed to compliance with all applicable laws regarding nondiscrimination.

In keeping with the mission of the University and the essence of the federal and state equal opportunity laws, we uphold as the standing policy of the University to realize fairness of opportunity in education and employment; to guard against discrimination contrary to that aim, and to correct prejudiced behavior if found to exist within the University community. Consistent with providing educational programs of the highest quality, Leighton's standing policy includes affirmative efforts to attain the above goals in employment and education.

This institutional policy has been and shall be further implemented by the President and by members of the faculty and the administration designated by the President for that purpose.

(Adopted by the Board of Trustees  12 April 2020). These policies apply to all University community members, including faculty, staff, students, and volunteers.
