Framingham State College's Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity/Diversity Plan ("Plan") provides information about the college's commitment to maintain and promote a policy of non-discrimination on the basis of a protected class. 

The college is committed to providing equal access to educational, co-curricular and employment opportunities at the college for all applicants, students, and employees regardless of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation, criminal record (employment application only), participation in discrimination complaint related procedures, gender identity, genetic information, marital status, age, disability, active military, or veteran status in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies.   All benefits, privileges, and opportunities offered by the College are available to students, employees, and other persons having dealings with the institution on a non-discriminatory basis within the framework of applicable laws, rules, regulations, and collective bargaining agreements.

The Plan includes our Policy Against Discrimination, Discriminatory Harassment, and Retaliation,  Policies for Reasonable Accommodations for Persons with Disabilities, and our Discrimination Complaint Procedures.
