Posting of Notices. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, accessible to employees and applicants, notices setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
Solicitations and Advertisements. In all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the Contractor, the Contractor will state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or disability.
Notice to Labor Organizations. The Contractor will send to each labor union or workers' representative with which it has a collective-bargaining agreement or other understanding a notice advising the union or workers' representative of the Contractor's commitments under this clause and will post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants.
Subcontracts and Purchase Orders. The Contractor will include the substance of the preceding paragraphs of this subsection in every subcontract or purchase order financed in whole or in part with federal funds, unless exempted by applicable statute or regulation, so that such provisions are binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The Contractor will take any action with respect to a subcontract or purchase order that the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing these provisions, including sanctions for non-compliance.
Records and Access. The Contractor will furnish all information and reports required by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, by cognizant federal agencies, or by the U.S. Departments of Justice or Labor pursuant to the statutes and regulations cited in this subsection, and will permit access to its books, records, and accounts by authorized officials for purposes of determining compliance.
Sanctions for Non-Compliance. In the event of the Contractor’s non-compliance with this clause or any applicable nondiscrimination law or regulation, this contract may be cancelled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part, and the Contractor may be declared ineligible for further Commonwealth or federally-assisted contracts, in addition to any other sanctions or remedies provided by law.
If any section or subsection of this Contract is held to be illegal, in conflict with any law, or otherwise invalid, the remaining sections and subsections of this Contract shall be considered severable and shall not be affected by such determination, and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be construed and enforced as if the Contract did not contain the particular section or subsection held to be illegal or invalid.
This Contract, as defined under Section II, represents the entire understanding and agreement made between the Parties relating to the services contemplated and supersedes all prior negotiations and agreements relative thereto. The language in all parts of this Contract shall be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either KSU or the Contractor. As aforementioned, this Contract may not be amended or added to except through the process set forth in the subsection titled “Changes and Modifications to the Contract.”
