In the selection of students and faculty, the
Governor's School does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex,
religion, age,
or disability. Recognizing the
advantages to the student body and to the citizens of Tennessee of a
diversified
student body, the selection committee shall consider race and sex,
along with
all other criteria, and shall continually review the admissions policy
to yield
a student body that tends to reflect the racial, gender, and
geographical
composition of the state’s school-age children. The
Governor's Schools are committed to affirmative action.
