| Abstract | This text discusses revisions made in 2009 to the APA’s Statement on Nondiscrimination and a new enforcement policy adopted. The revisions aimed to clarify that the APA rejects discrimination based on both status and conduct integrally connected to that status. The new enforcement policy requires academic institutions advertising in APA publications to indicate if they comply with the nondiscrimination statement, and noncompliant ads will be flagged. Background is provided on the process of revising the statement in response to petitions for and against changes to address discrimination based on sexual orientation. Also included are excerpts from the APA Committee on Inclusiveness’s report analyzing the central issues raised by competing interpretations of the nondiscrimination statement. The report concludes conduct codes banning “homosexual behavior” should be viewed as discriminatory under a reasonable interpretation of the statement.
