Affirmative Action statement
The free exercise of religion guaranteed by the constitution of the United States includes the right to establish and maintain religious educational institutions. Loma Linda University is incorporated as a California religious nonprofit corporation, owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church as an integral part of the Church's teaching ministry. Federal and state guidelines clearly recognize the right of religious institutions to seek personnel and students who support the goals of the institution, including the right to give preference to members of the church which sponsors the institution.
The University is committed to equal education and employment opportunities for women and men of all races and does not discriminate on the basis of handicap, sex, race, color or national origin in its education and admissions policies, financial affairs, employment programs, student life and services or any University-administered program. It does, however, retain the right to give preference in student admissions to qualified Seventh-day Adventist applicants. While this right is retained, it should be emphasized that admissions are not limited exclusively to Seventh-day Adventist applicants.
To this end, the University is in compliance with Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended, and substantial compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (45 CFR 106 et seq.) Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and Section 402 of the Vietnam Era Veterans Adjustment Act of 1974 and does not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of age or because they are disabled veterans or veterans of the Vietnam era. In addition, the University administers student programs without discrimination on the basis of age, except in those programs where age is a bona fide academic qualification for admission in accordance with the provisions of the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.
The University reserves constitutional and statutory rights as a religious institution and employer to give preference to Seventh-day Adventists in admissions and employment, including but not limited to 42 USC Secs 2000e-1, 2000e-2, Sec 6-15 of Federal Executive Order 11246: 41 CFR Secs 60-1.5(5); 20 USC Sec 1681(a) (3), 34 CFR Secs 106.12(a) (b), 106.21, 106.31, 106.39, 106.40, 106.51, 106.57; California Government Code Secs 12926(d) (1); and Title II, Division 4, Chapter 2, Section 7286.5 of the California Code of Regulations, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Sec 4 of the California Constitution. The University believes that Title IX regulations are subject to constitutional guarantees against unreasonable entanglement with or infringements on the religious teachings and practices of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The University expects students and employees to uphold biblical principles of morality and deportment as interpreted by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The University claims exemptions from the provisions of the Title IX set forth in 34 CFR Secs , 86.21, 86.31, 86.40, 86.57(b).
The department of security is responsible for maintaining a safe environment on the properties of Loma Linda University. The department of security's primary goals are:
- To prevent crime on campus.
- To protect and assist students, faculty, staff and visitors to the campus with security related problems.
These goals are attained through selective hiring, intensive training, providing impartial services, and by enforcing the policies of the University and Medical Center, as well as all local, state and federal laws. The department of security is dedicated to the highest professional and ethical standards, which are upheld through commitment to safety, courtesy, and excellence.
The department of security does everything in its power to attain these goals, but your help plays a vital part. Always be aware of your surroundings. Your awareness is our most powerful crime prevention tool. Report all suspicious persons or activities to the department of security, no matter how minor you perceive the situation to be. Become familiar with the location of the emergency phones on campus, see page 24. If you are a victim of a crime, immediately contact the department of security at extension 44320 or 911 to report the incident ((909) 558-4320 from an off campus phone).
The department of security is available to assist you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This handbook details the many services available to you as well as providing a quick reference to issues of campus safety.
