NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY – The leadership and faculty of the Charles George VA Internship in Clinical Psychology are firmly committed to a strong and consistent policy of nondiscrimination


on the basis of race, gender, color, national origin, disability, limited English proficiency, age, sexual orientation and gender identity. Providing a workplace free from discrimination and


harassment has long been the objective and policy of the Veterans Health Administration. VHA DIRECTIVE 2008-024 STATES THAT “It is VHA policy that no one is subjected to any form of


discrimination because of race, color, national origin, LEP, age, sex, handicap, or reprisal in any and all VHA programs, programs receiving VA funding, or any VA program receiving Federal


financial assistance.” VHA Directive 2008-013 states that “VA employees are to be able to perform their jobs in workplaces free from discrimination, including intentional discrimination


based upon one’s sexual orientation.[…] It is VA policy to provide an equal opportunity to all of its employees and applicants for employment without discrimination based on sexual


orientation.”
