Lincoln Land Community College shall not discriminate against any student, employee, prospective employee, or any other person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, physical or mental disability, military status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, or any other status protected by the provisions of the Illinois Human Rights Act or other applicable law. As such, it will not tolerate derogatory references by any student or employee with respect to differences regarding any such protected status. Discrimination by a student or employee shall be cause for disciplinary action including, but not limited to, expulsion of the student or termination of the employee. The College shall designate a compliance officer to assure compliance with these provisions.

In accordance with Illinois law, Lincoln Land Community College shall reasonably accommodate the religious observance of individual students in regard to admissions, class attendance, and the scheduling of examinations and work requirements. Any student who believes that there has been unreasonable denial of an educational benefit due to such student’s religious belief or practices may seek redress through the Student Grievance and Appeals Process as provided in Board Policy 5.40.
