Equal Opportunity Policy

Paul Smith's College subscribes to a policy of equal opportunity. The College believes that commitment to principles of fairness and respect for all helps create a climate that is favorable to the free and open exchange of ideas, and the College seeks to reach out as widely as possible in order to attract the best individuals as students, faculty, and staff. For these reasons, decisions concerning admission to College academic and other programs, as well as employment decisions in all College departments and offices, are made on the basis of an individual's qualifications to contribute to meeting Paul Smith's educational objectives and its institutional needs. In applying to policy, the College is committed to the principle of not discriminating against individuals on the basis of personal beliefs or characteristics such as political views, religion, national or ethnic origin, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability unrelated to job or program requirements
