REVISED AND APPROVED NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY
7.22.09
The College of Mount St. Joseph (“the College”) is committed to providing an educational and employment environment free from discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, or other minority or protected status. This commitment extends to the College’s administration of its admission, financial aid, employment, and academic policies, as well as the College’s athletic programs and other college-administered programs, services, and activities.
The College has designated the Chief Compliance and Risk Officer, (513) 244-4393, Office of the President, as the individual responsible for responding to inquiries, addressing complaints, and coordinating compliance with its responsibilities under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and other applicable federal and state civil rights laws. The College has designated the Director of Academic Support, (513) 244-4524, the Learning Center, as the individual responsible for responding to inquiries, addressing complaints, and coordinating compliance with its responsibilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Financing the College
The College of Mount St. Joseph receives no annual apportionments from the Catholic Church, state or federal governments. Tuition and fees cover approximately 80 percent of the cost of the operation. The remaining amount comes from generous donors including alumni, parents, friends, corporations, foundations, and the Sisters of Charity. These gift investments are made in several ways.
Gifts to the Mount Annual Fund
Gifts to the Mount Annual Fund enable the College to meet its current expenses. The Annual Fund helps support student scholarships, academic programs, student services and programs, faculty development, and campus maintenance.
Gifts to Endow Scholarships
A gift of $300,000 will provide a fully endowed scholarship while a gift of $25,000 or more will establish a partial scholarship. These gifts may be funded on an outright basis with cash or securities, or on deferred basis through bequests, insurance, trusts, and annuities. Based on the endowment spending rate approved annually by the Board of Trustees, a portion of the investment earnings on these endowments is used to fund scholarship aid to qualifying students.
Gifts to Capital Projects
The continued maintenance and improvement of its facilities is paramount to the success of the College. Donors may make outright or planned gifts to ensure the Mount’s classrooms, library, science labs, computer labs, and recreational facilities support its students in their academic pursuits. To recognize the generosity of donors, the College has developed several naming opportunities for buildings, laboratories and classrooms.
