Native speakers

[Natalia Lusin]

     Here's the MLA's position on the native speaker question, as stated in
     the instructions for Job List submissions:
     "Federal law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color,
     religion, creed, sex, age, disability, or national origin. The MLA Job
     Information Service reserves the right to edit all statements to
     conform to such regulations. Statements from foreign language
     departments requiring that applicants be 'native speakers' of a given
     language will not be accepted. Phrases such as 'native command,'
     'native fluency,' and 'native-level speaker' are acceptable."
