EEO/AA/EQUITY MISSION STATEMENT

Under the policies of Indian River State College, the College seeks to ensure equal opportunity employment and affirmative action in its educational programs, services and activities and employment policies and procedures for all without regard to race, color, national origin, ethnic origin, gender, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, or genetic information.

ADA STATEMENT

Indian River State College complies with, and fully supports, the Americans with Disabilities Act. No one will be denied any employment opportunity, or otherwise discriminated against in our application, interview, selection, and hiring process simply because he/she has a disability or a relationship with a disabled person.

In our application process we will not make any inquiry into the applicant’s medical condition or the existence, nature, or extent of any disability he/she may have. So, if a reasonable accommodation is required to apply for employment with us for a disability that is not obvious, please let us know. No record of it will be made and it will not be considered in evaluating qualifications for the position.

Indian River State College will make a reasonable accommodation to any known disability in order to allow the applicant to fairly apply for employment and, if hired, to perform the tasks essential to the position.

NON DISCRIMINATION AND NON HARASSMENT POLICY STATEMENT

It is the policy of Indian River State College and its District Board of Trustees that each employee, student, applicant for admission, and applicant for employment be allowed to participate in college programs and activities, including employment, in a discrimination and harassment free environment.

Harassment of any nature is prohibited whether it is on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, or genetic information.

Preventing harassment it is the responsibility of the entire College. Accordingly, Indian River State College encourages all employees, students, applicants for admission, and applicants for employment, who believe they are being subjected to harassment to follow the Administrative Procedures, AP 3.13 and AP 3.131, for harassment complaints. The College will take prompt disciplinary action against individuals on campus facilities who engage in actions that violate this policy.
