Sarah Lawrence College does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, gender, color, sexual orientation, gender identity or its expression, disability, religion, age, veteran status, or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its admission, employment, educational policies, scholarship or other financial aid programs, athletic, or other College-administered programs. Sarah Lawrence affirms that it admits students and selects employees regardless of race, sex, gender, color, sexual orientation, gender identity or its expression, veteran status, disability, religion, age, or national or ethnic origin, and thereafter accords them all the rights and privileges generally made available to students or employees at the College. Continuing its longstanding policy to actively support equality of opportunity for all persons, the College is strongly committed to basing judgments about individuals solely upon their qualifications and abilities, and to protecting individual rights of privacy, association, belief, and expression.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, current or prospective employees with disabilities may contact the Office of Human Resources to request a reasonable accommodation, as appropriate.
Sarah Lawrence College is committed to the ideal of a community founded in mutual respect and tolerance. Free and robust debate and exchange of ideas are at the heart of our academic enterprise. However, the College makes a distinction between free expression of ideas and physical or verbal abuse or harassment, which threatens or inhibits such expression, or significantly interferes with a person's education or work. The College takes the issues of discrimination and harassment seriously, and will thoroughly investigate any complaints that are brought to its attention. If the investigation determines that discrimination or harassment has occurred, appropriate disciplinary action will be invoked, up to and including permanent separation from the College. Retaliation against an individual for reporting or providing information about discrimination or harassment is an equally serious violation of College policies.
