The filing of an application does not imply that the applicant will eventually be employed but that the application will be considered, when a vacancy occurs, in competition with other applicants. All applicants will be given equal opportunity regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, disability, height, weight, marital status or veteran status. It is our policy that no person shall be discriminated against, excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, national origin or ancestry, sex, age, disability, religion, height, weight, marital status or veteran status.
