Discrimination and Harassment Response

Title IX

Our Commitment to a Safe and Respectful Community

Sattler College believes that Scripture's command to "love your neighbor as yourself" should govern all interpersonal interactions. In conformity to the teaching of Scripture, Sattler College affirms that all human beings bear the image of God (Gen. 1:26); that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female, bond nor free (Gal. 3:28); and that God in Christ is calling unto himself people from every nation, kindred, people, and tongue (Rev. 7:9). Sattler further affirms that all Christians and Christian institutions are to be subject to governmental authority (Rom. 13:1), unless those authorities demand acts or omissions that would cause them to violate the clear commands of Scripture (Acts 5:29).

Non-Discrimination Policy

Sattler College vigorously rejects all forms of discrimination, harassment and disrespect, especially to groups and individuals that have historically been vulnerable to discrimination. The College strives to foster a respectful, welcoming environment for all students, faculty, and staff. Moreover, Sattler College believes that diversity among its student body, faculty, and staff makes an invaluable contribution to a student’s education.

Thus it is the policy of Sattler College—while reserving its lawful rights where appropriate to promote the historic Christian faith in accordance with its mission and founding precepts—to comply with state and federal laws prohibiting discrimination in admissions, employment, and in its educational programs on the basis of the following categories:

Race, color, or national origin
Sex or sexual orientation
Religion
Disability or age
Marital or parental status
Genetic information or family medical history
Military status

Sattler College will not tolerate, condone or permit discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation, whether engaged in by employees, students, or third parties who conduct business with Sattler.
