Thomas Jefferson School of Law is committed to a policy of non-discrimination both in educational and employment opportunities. The school's policy is to prohibit discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or age. An exception to our policy of non-discrimination is granted to representatives of the U.S. Department of Defense who discriminate on a basis not permitted by our policy. This exception is made in order to avoid the loss of federal funds that would otherwise be imposed by the 1996 Solomon Amendment.
