Non-Discrimination Policy
Faulkner University - Thomas Goode Jones School of Law does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or veteran status in any of its educational policies, admissions, financial aid, employment, educational programs, or activities. Although the School of Law does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, sexual conduct outside of biblical marriage (see, e.g., Gen. 2:24; Matt. 19:5-6; Eph. 5:31, 33; I Tim. 3:2; and Tit. 1:6) is inconsistent with the University’s religious traditions, values, affiliation, and purpose. Therefore, in accordance with ABA Standard 205 and Interpretation 205-2, the School of Law does not knowingly employ individuals who engage in such conduct; the School of Law also expects its students to avoid using the law school’s (or University’s) facilities, resources, name, or symbols to advocate such conduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with Standard 205 and Interpretation 205-2, the School of Law exercises a preference in the employment of faculty and staff for those qualified applicants who are members of the Churches of Christ whose lifestyles are consistent with the mission of the School of Law and with the beliefs and values of the Churches of Christ. In cases where no qualified applicant is a member of the Churches of Christ, the School of Law exercises a preference in employment for those whose religious beliefs and lifestyles are consistent with the mission of the School of Law and with the beliefs and values of the Churches of Christ.
