Non-Discrimination Policy

Building an equitable, inclusive, and just community takes institutional commitment and individual practice. Palo Alto University's core values of social justice and cultural responsiveness drive our work to develop and sustain institutional systems that foster equity-minded training, inclusive practices, and a community that embodies belonging.

We ground this work in the foundational belief that inclusion is required for individuals and institutions to thrive and achieve their greatest potential. Palo Alto University uses the Inclusive Excellence Framework as the basis for our endeavors to build individual and institutional capacity in equity.

Further, Palo Alto University (PAU) is an equal opportunity institution of higher education and employer and is firmly committed to non-discrimination in its delivery of educational services and employment practices. In compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, such decisions will be made irrespective of the individual’s race, color, religion, religious creed, ancestry, national origin, age (except for minors), sex, marital status, citizenship status, military service status, sexual orientation, gender identity, medical condition, disability and/or any another status protected by law.
