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) supports institutional, as well as legislative or regulatory initiatives to promote a campus climate guided by the values of inclusion, respect, equality and equity. ACHA rejects all forms of intolerance and bias, whether implicit or explicit.
Such a climate is essential to college health.
Consistent with these values, ACHA rejects all forms of discriminatory conduct with respect to: age; race/ethnicity; sex; sexual orientation; gender, including gender identity and expression; marital status; physical size; psychological/physical/learning ability; religious, spiritual or cultural identity; socioeconomic status; veteran status; nationality, immigration status, primary language spoken, or any other class of persons or their attributes. ACHA actively strives to eliminate bias and discriminatory conduct from all its policies, procedures, communications, actions and activities.
Adopted by the ACHA Board of Directors on May 30, 2000, and revised by the ACHA Board of Directors in May 2022
