I understand that the School is committed to providing equal opportunity in all employment practices, including but not limited to selection, hiring promotion, transfer, and compensation to all qualified applicants and employees without regard to age, race, color, national origin, sex, religion, handicap or disability, or any other category protected by federal, state, or local law.

I authorize former and present employers, and professional, work, and personal references listed in the application and any other individuals I may name, to give the School or its designee any and all information concerning my previous employment and any pertinent information they may have, personal or otherwise and release such parties from all liability for any damages that may result from furnishing same to the School.
