Article 4: Fundamental Objectives

1. The College's fundamental objectives are to promote access to academic education and fair opportunities for acquiring academic education, as well as advancing the fields of science and education and the development of cultural, spiritual, creative and critical life among faculty and academic research staff of the college and among the community and society in which it operates. To promote these purposes, the College operates as a non-profit organization. The college serves education, research and culture, and does not exist to serve any commercial or political objectives, however beneficial they may be.
2.  In order to realize these fundamental objectives, the College, as well as its employees, is obliged to respect the individual and his or her rights regardless of religion, nationality, race, gender, sexual preference, origin or political opinion. An internal policy of equality, prevention of discrimination and respect for human rights constitutes a fundamental condition for the realization of the values and goals of the college. Any discrimination within the college, admission to studies, work, promotion, and so on undermines Sapir College's commitment to ensure that any opinion, view, or theory is given a fair expression and fair exposure to criticism.
