NMJC does not discriminate against any employee, applicant for employment, student, or applicant for admission on the basis of:
- Race,
- Color,
- Religion,
- National Origin,
- Ancestry,
- Sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions),

- or any other protected category under applicable local, state, or federal law, including protections for those opposing discrimination or participating in any grievance process on campus, with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or other human rights agencies.
This policy covers nondiscrimination in both employment and access to educational opportunities. Therefore, any member of NMJC community whose acts deny, deprive, or limit the educational or employment access, benefits, and/or opportunities of any member of NMJC community, guest, or visitor on the basis of that person’s actual or perceived membership in the protected classes listed above is in violation of NMJC policy on nondiscrimination.
When brought to the attention of NMJC, any such discrimination will be promptly and fairly addressed and remedied by NMJC according to the appropriate grievance process described below.
