  • Notice of Non-Discrimination and Equal Opportunity

    Saint Vincent College subscribes to a policy of equal opportunity in the classroom, workplace, and programs. Saint Vincent does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, age, veteran status, national origin, marital status, genetic history, or disability in its programs and activities as required by Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and other applicable statutes and College policies. Saint Vincent prohibits sexual harassment, including sexual violence.

    As Saint Vincent College is an educational community rooted in the tradition of the Catholic faith, the heritage of Benedictine monasticism, and the love of values inherent in the liberal approach to life and learning, nothing in this equal opportunity policy shall require Saint Vincent to act in a manner contrary to the beliefs and teachings of the Catholic Church. Nor shall it be construed as a waiver either of Constitutional or statutory rights which Saint Vincent enjoys as a religiously-affiliated institution. Nor does this abrogate the right of the College to specify as a qualification for employment an individual’s willingness to fully embrace Saint Vincent’s mission as a Catholic, Benedictine institution.
