7.1.1 In Accord with Berkeley Campus Regulations

The OCF shall not restrict membership or otherwise discriminate in any way against any person or group on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, physical or mental disability, medical condition (cancer-related or genetic characteristics), ancestry, marital status, age, sexual orientation, citizenship or status as a covered veteran (special disabled veteran, Vietnam-era veteran or any other veteran who served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized).

7.1.2 Fields of Study

The OCF shall not restrict membership or otherwise discriminate in any way against any person or group on the basis of college major or field of study. However, this section shall not be construed as restricting the OCF from providing separate facilities for different uses, as long as the availability of such facilities is proportionate to demand among the OCF's current and potential users.
