As a principal component of the core values of our association, ACHA fully embraces social justice, human dignity, and respect for all. Accordingly, the association has adopted the following organizational position:
The American College Health Association (ACHA) joins numerous professional health and human rights organizations in support of marriage equality. The Association recognizes that denial of equal civil rights can contribute to diminished health and quality of life. With due consideration and respect for varying philosophical positions and alternative viewpoints, ACHA encourages continued dialogue and collaboration to promote social justice.
