ALSAC provides an environment which affirms pluralism of beliefs and opinions, including diversity of religion, gender, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, disability, age and socioeconomic class.

ALSAC will implement and adhere to policies and procedures which discourage harassment and other behaviors that infringe upon the freedom and respect that every individual deserves.

Our Diversity and Inclusion Policy

In order to provide equal employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals, ALSAC bases employment decisions on merit, qualifications and abilities. ALSAC does not discriminate with regard to employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or any other characteristic protected by law.

ALSAC will make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result in an undue hardship. This policy governs all aspects of employment, including selection, job assignment, compensation, discipline, termination, and access to benefits, training and all other terms and conditions of employment.

Any employee with questions or concerns about any type of discrimination in the workplace is encouraged to bring these issues to the attention of his/her immediate supervisor or the Senior Vice President, Human Resources. Employees can raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal.
