Student Life

University Commitment

The Catholic University of America is committed to the belief that "with respect to the fundamental rights of the person, every type of discrimination, whether social or cultural, whether based on sex, race, color, social condition, language or religion, is to be overcome and eradicated as contrary to God's intent" (Vatican Council II, Gaudium et spes, No. 29). Accordingly, it is the policy of the university to comply fully with provisions of federal and local laws and regulations, where applicable, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of criteria specified in those laws and regulations in educational programs and activities, including admission thereto, and in employment. Inquiries may be directed to the equal opportunity officer, 291 Leahy Hall, 202-319-6594.
