ACHA Reaffirms Its Non-Discrimination Policy

The American College Health Association reaffirms our long-held support for a campus climate guided by the values of cultural inclusion, respect, equality, and equity. ACHA supports federal, state and local governmental policies that reflect these ideals. ACHA rejects all forms of intolerance and discriminatory conduct with respect to the following: age; gender identity, including transgender; marital status; physical size; psychological/physical/learning disability; race/ethnicity; religious, spiritual or cultural identity; sex; sexual orientation; socioeconomic status; or veteran status. Such a climate is essential to ensuring the health and safety of college students, faculty and administrators.
