20U N I V E R S I T Y C ATA L O GAffirmative Actionhe University routinely monitors its educational and employment practices regardingTwomen, minorities, and the disabled to ensure compliance with the law and Universitypolicy. The University’s affirmative-action policy is to provide equal access to admissions,educational programs and activities, financial aid, student services, and employment.In compliance with Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and Section 504 of theRehabilitation Act of 1973, a grievance procedure has been established to process student complaints alleging violation of these regulations or of the University’s policy of nondiscriminationbased on gender or disability. Inquiries concerning Title IX may be directed to the affirmativeaction officer. Employment-related discrimination complaints, including those filed by studentemployees, are processed in conformity with the provisions outlined in existing staff personnelpolicies. Complaints related to discrimination in academic areas are reviewed in conformity withthe procedures established by the academic administration.

INTRODUCTION21Nondiscrimination Policyoma Linda University was established by the Seventh-day Adventist Church as an integralLpart of its teaching ministry. The University affirms that Christian principles are incompatible with various forms of discrimination that have divided societies, and that all per-sons are of equal worth in the sight of God and should be so regarded by all His people.Therefore, the University is committed to equal education and employment opportunities formen and women of all races and does not discriminate on the basis of handicap, gender, race,color, or national origin in its educational or admissions policies, financial affairs, employmentprograms, student life and services, or any University-administered program.To this end, the University is in compliance with Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of1964 as amended and is in substantial compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of1972 (34 CFR 106 et seq.), Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Discrimination inEmployment Act of 1967, and Section 402 of the Vietnam Era Veterans Adjustment Act of 1974;and does not discriminate against any employees or applicants for employment on the basis ofage or because they are disabled veterans or veterans of the Vietnam era. In addition, theUniversity administers student programs without discrimination on the basis of age—except inthose programs where age is a bona fide academic qualification for admission—in accordancewith the provisions of the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.The University reserves constitutional and statutory rights as a religious institution andemployer to give preference to Seventh-day Adventists in admissions and employment, includingbut not limited to 42 U.S.C. Secs. 2000e-1, 2000e-2; Sec. 6-15 of Federal Executive Order 11246;41 CFR Sec. 60-1.5(5); 20 U.S.C. Sec. 1681 (a)(3); 34 CFR Secs. 106.12 (a)(b), 106.21, 106.31,106.39, 106.40, 106.51, and 106.57; California Government Code Sec. 12926(d)(1); Title II,Division 4, Chapter 2, Sec. 7286.5 of the California Code of Regulations; the First Amendment tothe United States Constitution; and Article I, Sec. 4, of the California Constitution. TheUniversity believes that Title IX regulations are subject to constitutional guarantees againstunreasonable entanglement with or infringements on the religious teachings and practices of theSeventh-day Adventist church. The University expects students and employees to uphold biblicalprinciples of morality and deportment as interpreted by the Seventh-day Adventist church. TheUniversity claims exemptions from the provisions of Title IX set forth in 34 CFR Secs. 106.12(a)(b), 106.21, 106.31, 106.39, 106.40, 106.51, and 106.57.
