Berea College, in light of its mission in the tradition of “impartial love” and social equality, welcomes “all peoples of the earth” to learn and work here. It is the policy of Berea College not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, handicap, or sexual orientation in its educational programs, admissions practices, scholarship and loan programs, athletics and other school-administered activities or employment practices. This policy is in compliance with the requirements of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, regulations of the Internal Revenue Service, and all other applicable federal, state and local statutes, ordinances and regulations.
The College has appointed compliance officers regarding handicap and sex discrimination. The Section 504 Coordinator oversees activities and facilities to insure that they are accessible to disabled persons and that the College is in full compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and subsequent related legislation. The Title VII/IX Coordinator is charged to assist all elements of the College to eliminate any vestiges of discrimination based on gender, and to monitor institutional compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and related legislation. These coordinators are available to receive inquiries and complaints; all complaints are thoroughly investigated and appropriate action taken. See Directory for a current listing.
