Community Standards

Butler does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, citizenship status, military status, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or genetic information. No student or applicant for admission will be excluded from participation in, denied benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in any educational program, opportunity, or activity. Additionally, no employee or applicant for employment will be subjected to discrimination with regard to hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, or other terms or condition of employment.
