The University reserves constitutional and statutory rights as a religious institution and employer to give preference to Seventh-day Adventists in admissions and employment, including but not limited to, 42 USC secs 2000e-l, 2000e-2, sec. 6-15 of Federal Executive order 11246: 41 CFR sec. 60-1.5(5); 20 USC sec. 1681 (a)(3), 34 CFR secs. 106.12 (a)(b), 106.21, 106.31, 106.39, 106.40, 106.51, 106.57; California Government Code secs. 12926(d)(1); and title II, division 4, chapter 2, sec. 7286.5 of the California Code of Regulations, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and article 1, sec. 4 of the California Constitution. The University believes that title IX regulations are subject to constitutional guarantees against unreasonable entanglement with or infringements on the religious teachings and practices of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The University expects students and employees to uphold biblical principles of morality and deportment as interpreted by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The University claims exemptions from the provisions of the title IX set forth in 34 CFR secs. 106.12 (a)(b), 106.21, 106.31, 106.39, 106.40, 106.51, and 106.57 insofar as they conflict with Church teachings and practices of morality, deportment, and appearance.
) Also the break rooms abound with coffee. Especially the ED, when I was on wards in there I had access to more than enough of it all the time haha. Not trying to make them sound like hypocrites or whatever, but the docs/students here do have their own personal preferences, and modern Adventism includes a lot of coffee drinkers/meat eaters. Plus there are a lot of students/attendings/residents who aren't Adventist at all. It's not really a religious thing, but a lifestyle thing. Honestly those of us who do it are statistically not as healthy, but hey, I'll shave a few years off my life for the taste of coffee
