Equal opportunity
It has been the historic practice at Reed College to admit students of any race, color, religion, sex, or national and ethnic origin, and without regard to disabilities, veteran's status, or any other unlawful basis, nor sexual orientation or political beliefs, to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to the students at the school. Reed does not consider any of the above attributes in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan program, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Pursuant to Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Title IX of the 1972 educational amendment, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, equal opportunity is national policy. Inquiries on the application of Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504 may be made to Edwin O. McFarlane, Reed College. The selection of new faculty members, and subsequent evaluations, are based upon individual merit and not upon race, color, sex, religion, age, national or ethnic origin, veteran's status, disability unrelated to job requirements, or any other unlawful basis, nor upon sexual orientation or political beliefs.
