The Catholic University of America’s commitment to having an inclusive campus community, where all members are treated with dignity and respect, extends to its hiring and employment practices. No person will be denied employment or otherwise discriminated against or harassed at the University, in its programs or activities, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, personal appearance, family responsibilities, physical or mental disability, political affiliation, status as a veteran, or any other basis protected by applicable Federal and District of Columbia laws. Included is the Immigration and Nationality Act, which prohibits discrimination because of national origin against U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and authorized aliens. The law also prohibits discrimination because of citizenship status against U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and the following classes of aliens with work authorization: permanent residents, temporary residents, refugees, and asylees; governs the hiring and employment of foreign nationals; and requires the University to verify that individuals hired after Nov. 7, 1986 are legally entitled to work in the U.S.

The University’s Office of General Counsel provides prospective as well as current employees with additional information and resources pertaining to employment and immigration.
