Legal Notice Regarding On-Campus Training

Cornerstone for Women Leaders partners with colleges and universities to offer leadership development courses that are rooted in ethical frameworks and values-based instruction. These courses are designed for educational purposes only and are open to all students regardless of gender, religion, or background.

​

In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and guidance from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), these courses are not restricted based on sex and do not limit enrollment by gender. Cornerstone does not operate within any of the exceptions allowed for sex-separation in education (e.g., contact sports, choruses, or ability grouping in physical education) and fully supports equal access to all students.

​

Our instructional content draws from biblical principles of leadership and uses the Bible as a primary resource for discussion, but the courses are not religious instruction. They are not intended to proselytize, convert, or preach, and participation does not require any adherence to or agreement with religious beliefs. All students are welcome to engage with the material in a respectful, academic environment.

​

In compliance with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, and in line with both federal and Maryland state constitutional provisions:

• No prayer, worship, or religious ritual will be conducted as part of classroom instruction.

• No religious solicitation or proselytizing will occur during the course.

• Biblical content is presented for its historical, ethical, and leadership relevance, not as a call to faith.

• Instruction is delivered in a manner that serves secular educational goals, in accordance with constitutional boundaries between church and state.

 

Cornerstone for Women Leaders is committed to honoring students’ religious freedom, while also upholding the institutional neutrality required by public colleges and universities. Our courses are structured to respect the rights of all participants and the legal standards governing public education in the State of Maryland and the United States.

​

Some of our leadership courses draw from principles and insights found in the Bible, utilizing it as a historical and ethical resource. These courses approach the content from a values-based and character-driven leadership perspective, not as a form of religious instruction. They are intended to equip participants with tools for personal and professional development, not to proselytize, convert, or preach.

To ensure respect for diverse workplace environments and in alignment with applicable legal standards, Cornerstone for Women Leaders commits to the following:

• No prayer, religious worship, or devotional practices are included as part of training sessions.

• Participation does not require adherence to any religious belief, and no religious solicitation will take place.

• The training content is designed to be inclusive, respectful of all belief systems, and centered around universal leadership principles that align with biblical wisdom, but do not promote religious doctrine.

• Trainers and presenters will not invite participants to join religious groups, solicit donations outside the scope of professional development services.

 

These guidelines are in accordance with best practices for workplace training and the legal expectations regarding religious neutrality in secular corporate environments.
