Marist University is committed to creating an inclusive workforce on campus by ensuring that barriers to equal employment opportunity and upward mobility do not exist. The University will strive to achieve the full and fair participation of all members of the Marist community. Equal opportunity means employment, development, and promotion of individuals without consideration of race, color, disability, religion, age, sex, marital status, national origin, sexual orientation, or veteran status unless there is a bona fide occupational requirement.

The University will review its employment policies and procedures to ensure that barriers which may unnecessarily exclude protected groups are identified and eliminated. The University will also explore alternative approaches if any policy or practice is found to have a negative impact on protected groups.
