Statement of inclusivity

Here at Columbia College we welcome persons from all backgrounds and beliefs to join our staff and College Community. Columbia College is committed to providing equal opportunities for all and does not discriminate or retaliate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, creed, religion, citizenship or intended citizenship status, veteran status, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy or parental status, marital status, age, disability, or any other status protected by law ("protected status"). We are committed to making the Columbia College Community a safe space for all employees, students, applicants for employment or admission, contractors, vendors, visitors, guests, and participants in College-sponsored programs and activities (collectively, the "College Community"). Anyone within the College Community may apply to allegations of discrimination or retaliation that occur off campus, online, or during after-hours functions sponsored by Columbia College.
