EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Ranger College is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in education and
employment.
The college does not discriminate against individuals based on age, race, color, religion,
sex,
national origin, disability, or veteran status in the administration of its educational
programs,
activities, or employment policies.
NONDISCRIMINATION
Federal law prohibits the College from making preadmission inquiries regarding a student's
disability. Information regarding a student's disability, voluntarily given or inadvertently
received, will not adversely affect any admission decision. If a student requires
special services
and/or accommodations because of a disability, the student must notify the College
counselor.
This voluntary self-identification allows Ranger College to prepare appropriate support
services
and/or accommodations to facilitate the student's learning. Confidentiality of the
information will
be maintained in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act and shared
only
with College officials with a legitimate educational interest in the information.
To the extent
reasonably appropriate, the College will provide special services and/or accommodations
to
qualified individuals with a disability in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act.
No employee or student shall discriminate against students, other employees, or community
members on the basis of race, gender, religion, self-identification, creed, national
origin, or
disability. This includes “Antisemitism” (as defined by HB 3257) meaning “a certain
perception
of Jews that may be expressed as a hatred toward Jews. The term includes rhetorical
and physical
acts of antisemitism directed toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
Antisemitism is not protected by free speech. In accordance with Texas Executive order
GA-44,
any discrimination or violation free speech can result in appropriate employee disciplinary
action.
