The University’s hiring practices and EEO discrimination practices are in full compliance with both federal and state law.
Federal law creates an exception to the “religion” component of the employment discrimination laws for religious organizations (including educational institutions), and permits them to give employment practice preference to members of their own religious beliefs.
Candidates must hold a PhD in Gerontology or an MD in Geriatrics from an accredited institution. A personal faith commitment to the university's evangelical Christian purpose is also required.
