In compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972, Tabor College does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, gender, religion, disability, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, federal, state, and institutional financial aid policies, scholarships programs, loan programs, athletic programs, admissions criteria or any other college-administered programs.

Effective January 8, 2015, the U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR) granted Tabor College a religious exemption to select portions of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 pertaining to gender identity. Specifically, because of the organization’s controlling religious tenets (being owned by the Mennonite Brethren Conference of Churches of the Central District Conference, the Southern District Conference, the Latin American District Conference and the North Carolina District Conference), the College is exempt from provisions 34 C.F.R. §106.32 (governing housing), 106.33 (governing comparable facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms) and 106.41 (governing athletics).
