POLICY
Bethel College is dedicated to equal employment opportunity and to non- discriminatory practices for all employees and job applicants, either intentional or inadvertent, with respect to race, color, national or ethnic origin, disability, veteran status, age or sex. The College is committed to full compliance with the letter and spirit of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; Executive Order 11246, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1972; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; and all other federal and state laws concerning equal opportunities.
It is the policy of the College to:
- Recruit, hire, train, and promote persons in all job titles without regard to race, color, national or ethnic origin, disability, veteran status, age or sex, except where sex is a bona fide occupational qualification.
- Base decisions on employment so as to further the principle of equal employment opportunity.
- Ensure that promotion decisions are in accord with principles of equal employment opportunity by imposing only valid requirements for promotional opportunities.
- Ensure that all personnel actions such as compensation, benefits, transfers, layoffs, return from layoff, College sponsored training, social and recreational programs, education, and tuition assistance will be administered without regard to race, color, national or ethnic origin, disability, veteran status, age or sex.
All policies and procedures will be reviewed annually to assure their full adherence to our equal employment opportunity objectives.
All employees are expected to comply with our EEO policy. Any person who is aware of any alleged violation of this policy should report such concerns to the Human Resource Director as soon as possible. Bethel College will thoroughly investigate and promptly resolve all such complaints in strict compliance with all applicable laws.
