Equal Educational Opportunity Policy

Affirmative Action Statement

Phillips Community College provides equal educational and employment opportunity regardless of sex, marital or parental status, race, color, religion, or age. Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance by way of grant, contract, or loan. Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is similar in its prohibition of discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, or origin. Equal education opportunity includes admission, recruitment, extracurricular programs and activities, facilities, access to course offerings, counseling and testing, financial assistance, placement, health, and athletics. The college is also committed to equal opportunities for the physically disabled in compliance with federal regulations, Sec. 504, Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and with the ADA Law of 1990, and Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972.
