Anti-Discrimination Policy

Membership in CSCA is open to anyone interested in furthering the mission and goals of CSCA. As such, CSCA encourages participation from all members, regardless of member sex, race, age, ethnicity, religion, marital status, sexual identity, health status, HIV status, physical ability, or mental ability. CSCA does not discriminate in hiring, electing, or appointing individuals based on any of the aforementioned characteristics.

CSCA Privacy Statement

CSCA is committed to protecting the privacy of its members. As such, CSCA does not sell or share its membership list with any agency, organization, or institution without the consent of the membership.

Obituary Policy

All deceased members of the Central States Communication Association will be accorded an acknowledgment of their death upon submission of the information by a colleague. Any information about the death of a member should be communicated to the Executive Director for consideration for publication in the CSCA newsletter. A few sentences describing the person’s history (date and place of birth, professional address and title) and professional accomplishments are appropriate. CSCA is not responsible for the content of the obituary. Extended obituaries may be distributed to memorialize any CSCA member who has served as president, executive director, or who is a member of the CSCA Hall of Fame upon the request of a current CSCA member.

Job Announcement Policy

All colleges and universities who have a departmental membership are allowed to post job openings to the CSCA website free of charge. Other colleges and universities wishing to post job openings must pay a fee of $75.00. If you are currently a departmental member, sign in to your existing account and complete the form here to submit your ad. We will also send an e-bulletin to all CSCA members announcing the position or, if the advertiser prefers, send the ad only to specific interest groups or caucuses.

If you are interested in posting a job and you are not currently a department member, sign in to your existing account or create a new account and complete the form here and we will bill you for the $75.00 fee.
