All printed
material distributed by Extension must contain a statement
of non-discrimination which notifies the reader that programs
are available to all persons without regard to race, sex,
religion, age, color, creed, national or ethnic origin; physical,
mental or sensory disability; marital status, sexual orientation;
or status as a Vietnam-era or disabled veteran.
For long-lived publications such as bulletins and newsletters
where space is not extremely limited, use this statement:
Extension programs and policies are
consistent with federal and state laws and regulations on nondiscrimination
regarding race, sex, religion, age, color, creed, national or
ethnic origin; physical, mental or sensory disability; marital
status, sexual orientation; or status as a Vietnam-era or disabled
veteran. Evidence of noncompliance may be reported through your
local Extension office.
We allow a shorter version to be used only where space is limited
or materials are short-lived, such as letters and news releases:
Extension programs and employment are
available to all without discrimination. Evidence of noncompliance
may be reported through your local Extension office.
We have a responsibility to include the non-discrimination statement
in news releases. The message is most often printed, however,
when a statement that the program is open to everyone occurs in
the body of the text rather than as a separate paragraph at the
end.
New programs
and program changes should be communicated by mailing information
to "grass roots" organizations and community media,
including minority groups.
Artwork
and other graphics should be representative of the diversity of
constituency groups. Representations should not make assumptions
about the economic status or subject matter interests of any particular
group.
The '...And
Justice for All' poster must be displayed and easily visible
in each area of the Extension facility where the public visit.
