ACD Stands With The Supreme Court On LGBTQ Rights

阿拉莫大学 区 Family,

In the midst of a worldwide pandemic and international protests advocating for Black lives, our U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed what so many of us have believed, that companies can’t and shouldn’t discriminate against LGBTQ individuals in the workplace. The 阿拉莫大学 区 and our family of colleges - 澳门新葡京博彩 大学, 西北Vista 大学, 帕洛阿尔托学院, St. Philip’s 大学 and 圣安东尼奥学院, express our support of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision providing necessary protections for the LGBTQ community.

In 2014 and again in 2016, the 阿拉莫大学 leadership voted and approved explicit policies supporting and protecting our LGBTQ community. Through our Equal Employment and Education statements, we reaffirmed our commitment to prohibit discrimination in any form against students and employees of the 阿拉莫大学. For more than 75 years, the 阿拉莫大学 区 has made it our mission to focus on students and empower our diverse communities for success. This week’s decision only mirrors what we have been practicing for years and hold as a core value—Respect for All.

While this decision provides more equitable support for the LGBTQ community, our work is not finished. Our nation and state have much to do to dismantle both legal and cultural systems of discrimination. 

We will continue to urge our elected officials to enact laws and policies that protect the LGBTQ community.
