Statement on nondiscrimination and affirmative action<\/h4>\n
NAU diligently aims to align information across its print and online platforms.\u00a0 This is the university’s official statement on nondiscrimination and affirmative action, and it supersedes any differing statement that might exist in a print or electronic handbook or other location on the website.<\/em><\/p>\n
Northern Arizona University does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, gender identity and expression, genetic information, or other legally or policy protected status, in the university’s services, educational programs, and activities, including but not limited to, admission to and employment by the university. As a federal contractor, the university is committed to affirmative action in employment for individuals with disabilities and covered veterans.<\/p>\n\n
