Policies

Thorne School Immunization Policy

In order to provide maximum protection for all children, Thorne students are required to be immunized and provide immunization records before the start of each school year. Thorne follows the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC immunization schedules. Medical exemptions must be physician authorized and are only for children with conditions in which immunizations may cause a threat to health.

Equality of Opportunity

91��˶�� is firmly committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all members of its faculty, staff and student body. 91��˶�� does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, age or disability in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other College-administered programs, or in its employment practices.

In conformity with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, it is also the policy of 91��˶�� not to discriminate on the basis of sex in its employment practices, educational programs or activities. The admission of only women in the Undergraduate College is in conformity with a provision of the Civil Rights Act. The provisions of Title IX protect students and employees from all forms of illegal sex discrimination, which includes sexual harassment and sexual violence, in College programs and activities.

Inquiries regarding compliance with this legislation and other policies regarding nondiscrimination may be directed to the Equal Opportunity Officer (eoo@brynmawr.edu or 610-526-7630) and Title IX Coordinator (titleix_coordinator@brynmawr.edu or 610-526-7630), who administer the College’s procedures.
