All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, affectionate or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, nationality or sex.

Qualified applicants who have access to or contact with students or the public, who are responsible for safeguarding of others’ well‑being, and who work with little supervision in close proximity to others will be required to complete a criminal history check once a contingent offer of employment is made.
