3.32 Equal Opportunity Employment


Scripps College (the College) is an equal opportunity employer and makes employment decisions on the basis of merit. We want to have the best available persons in every job. College policy prohibits unlawful discrimination for all employment decisions based on race, color, creed, gender, religion, marital status, registered domestic partner status, age, national origin or ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical or mental disability, medical condition including genetic characteristics, or any other consideration made unlawful by federal, state, or local laws. It also prohibits unlawful discrimination based on the perception that anyone has any of those characteristics, or is associated with a person who has or is perceived as having any of those characteristics. All such discrimination is unlawful.

The College is committed to compliance with all applicable laws providing equal employment opportunities. This commitment applies to all persons involved in College operations and prohibits unlawful discrimination by any employee of the College, including supervisors and coworkers. In addition, Scripps College provides reasonable accommodations to disabled applicants or employees in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and applicable state laws.

Any employee or applicant for employment who believes he or she has not been treated consistent with this Equal Opportunity Policy may contact the Director of Office of Human Resources or the College Equal Opportunity Officer who will investigate all complaints. If the College determines that unlawful discrimination has occurred, effective remedial action will be taken commensurate with the severity of the offense. Appropriate action also will be taken to deter any future discrimination. The College will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint and will not knowingly permit retaliation by management employees or your coworkers.
