Statement of Policy on Affirmative Action

It is the policy of the Board of Trustees and of Queensborough Community College, one of its constituent colleges, to recruit, employ, retain, and promote employees without regard to sex, race, age, national origin, color, religion, disability, veteran's status, or sexual orientation, and to admit and provide services and programs for students without regard to sex, race, age, national origin, proficiency in English, color, religion, disability, veteran's status, and sexual orientation.

With this statement, Queensborough Community College gives notice of its full commitment to affirmative action and to the regulations and policies that support affirmative action. For those members of the College community who are students, the policy of nondiscrimination in admission, services, and programs includes student recruitment, access to financial aid counseling, tutoring, advisement, and athletics. Questions regarding the application of this policy should be directed to the Office of the Dean of Students.

Additional information on the College Policy of Nondiscrimination and Sexual Harassment may be found in the College catalog and the publication on the Affirmative Action Plan of the College.
