*Because we are a private religious institution, we do discriminate in terms of who we employ. We do have a preference for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Because we are a private religious institution, we do hold the right to discriminate within these bounds. Title 41 CFR § 60-1.5 (a)(6).
