Equity and inclusion are therefore embedded in IEL's mission and daily operations. While a formal statement was not displayed on the homepage, IEL's entire program model demonstrates its commitment to providing education without discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, or background. Moving forward, IEL will add a clear nondiscrimination statement to its website to ensure compliance with IRS and state reporting requirements.
