Employer Terms of Use
Employers recruiting through the Career Development Center should adhere to the principles
set forth by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) regarding professional standards and ethical conduct. Recruiting activities that appear to discriminate against applicants on the basis
of race, color, sex, religion, creed, age, national origin, veteran status, sexual
orientation, disability, or gender will not be permitted.
Due to the increasing number of fraudulent positions, phishing scams, and questionable
employment opportunities, the Career Development Center staff reviews every employer
and position before posting to students. Although we cannot guarantee the integrity
of every position, we take every effort to not only protect students, but also the
reputations of our employers who are also victims of fraudulent activity.
