Anderson University does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, disability, age, religion, genetic information, pregnancy or childbirth, veteran or military status, or any other basis on which the University is prohibited from discrimination under local, state, or federal law, in its employment or in the provision of its services, including but not limited to its programs and activities, admissions, educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other University-administered programs. As a Christian institution of higher education, Anderson University is entitled to certain religious accommodations under federal and state law, including Title IX of the Education Amendments Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
The University therefore reserves its rights under state and federal law to consider religion as a factor in making employment decisions. The University is also entitled to exercise its religious accommodation for certain circumstances under Title IX which are in conflict with its religious tenents(34 CFR § 106.12(a)).
