About Us: Baylor University is unwaveringly committed to building and fostering a Caring Christian Community in which our members feel safe, respected and supported. Such a commitment includes ongoing compliance with all applicable anti-discrimination laws. As such, Baylor does not illegally discriminate, and prohibits illegal discrimination based on race, color, national or ethnic origin, citizenship, sex, age, disability, military service, pregnancy or other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, or local law ('Protected Characteristics') in employment and regarding qualified students in any education program or activity, as such discrimination is defined by applicable law. The University also prohibits associated retaliation as defined in applicable law and policy.
Given that the University is operated within the Christian-oriented aims and ideals of Baptists, governed by a predominantly Baptist Board of Regents and affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas, Baylor prescribes standards of personal conduct for employees and students consistent with its religious mission and values and that are integral to its Christian faith mission, and employs individuals whose values and conduct align with Baylor's mission. Baylor's commitment to equal opportunity and respect of others does not undermine the validity and effect of the constitutional and statutory protections for its religious liberty. The Protected Characteristics and application of the non-discrimination policy are interpreted consistently with relevant and applicable law and with the University's religious mission and values.
Inquiries about the application of Title IX and its regulations, which requires the University to not discriminate based on sex, can be directed to the Title IX Coordinator at: TitleIX_Coordinator@baylor.edu; 254-710-8454; or Clifton Robinson Tower, suite 285, and/or the United States Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights at OCR@ed.gov; or 800-421-3481.
