Hannibal-LaGrange University complies with all federal and state nondiscrimination laws and does not engage in prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, disability, national or ethnic origin or ancestry, military or veterans status, or genetic information in either employment or the provision of services.  As an institution controlled by the Missouri Baptist Convention, the University is exempted from some provisions of nondiscrimination laws, including the prohibition against religious discrimination in employment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and, to the extent compliance would conflict with the University’s religious tenets, the prohibition against sex discrimination under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
