Non-Discrimination Policy

(revised as of 1997)  

Lock Haven University is firm in its resolve that equal employment and educational opportunity shall be accorded to all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, religion, disability, national origin, gender, or age.

The ultimate objective of this policy is the abolition of practices which tend, inadvertently
or otherwise, to discriminate against women and minorities.

The objective of the Lock Haven University Social Equity/Affirmative Action Plan is to facilitate equal opportunity by taking positive, aggressive steps to improve the employment and educational conditions for all who choose our university as their place of work or study.  By enlisting the aid and cooperation of all segments of the campus community behind the equal opportunity effort, the objectives of the Lock Haven University Social Equity/ Affirmative Action Plan shall be accomplished.

All inquiries concerning the program are encouraged to be submitted to the designated Director of Social Equity of Lock Haven University, Mr. Albert Jones, (570) 893-2322.
