The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders AND The Speech and Hearing Clinic are both an equal opportunity program and will not tolerate discrimination of any kind. The department and clinic will maintain a positive academic and clinical environment and will fully support the University’s policy which states, “West Liberty University’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will provide a nurturing environment of diversity, inclusion, and equity in our community where everyone is respected, valued, included, treated fairly, and welcomed—regardless of one’s race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, ethnicity,
nationality, and/or socioeconomic status.”

Equitable and fair treatment to patients will be maintained by clinic practicum students and certified supervisors at all times. Each patient will receive fair treatment despite gender, age, race, disability, religion or sexual orientation.
