Notice Of Non-Discrimination Policy

It is the practice of the University of Toledo College of Law Office of Professional Development to accept job postings and on-campus interview requests only from employers who agree to adhere to the following policy:

The University of Toledo College of Law is committed to a policy of equal opportunity
in education, employment, membership and contracts. No differentiation will be
made based on race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation,
veterans status or the presence of a disability except as mandated by pertinent
legal requirements.

MILITARY RECRUITERS:  The policies of the United States Armed Forces concerning recruitment and retention do not comply with the above-stated policy of the College of Law with regard to non-discrimination based on sexual orientation.  Under normal circumstances, the military would therefore be barred from conducting interviews and recruiting on our campus.  As affirmed last March by the U.S. Supreme Court, however, federal legislation requires law schools to provide job-recruitment access to military recruiters or their universities will risk losing federal funding, including federal financial aid.  For this reason, military recruiters will be allowed access to College of Law recruiting facilities. This limited exception is not intended to diminish our commitment to our non-discrimination policy and our policy will be applied to all other employers.
