The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.
Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been
set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

university in Texas and the world's largest Baptist University. Baylor's
mission is to educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service by
integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment within a caring
community. Baylor is actively recruiting new faculty with a strong
commitment to the classroom and an equally strong commitment to discovering

full-time faculty members and offers three degrees - BA in English
