Please note that discrimination on the basis of gender is prohibited except as required by law.

Jefferson College prohibits discrimination and harassment motivated by antisemitism and will treat antisemitic discrimination and harassment in the same manner as discrimination motivated by any other Protected Category, consistent with applicable federal and Missouri laws.

Nothing in the Non-Discrimination Policy or Procedure shall be interpreted or applied in a manner that infringes upon rights protected by the United States Constitution or the Missouri Constitution.
