Schools or educational institutions differentiated faculty and student expectations at NNSB and Apollo Group and Vatterott, while the companies treated the their employees as a whole in terms of policies

Companies
Company and organization diversity policies can vary greatly, but the focus on non-discriminatory practices and procedures.
Schools and universities have similar policies and tend to cover the different roles encountered at the schools such as students and faculty whereas companies tend to focus on “employees” as a whole and don’t differentiate between the various roles
However, companies do differentiate where they have customers. Customers are treated as their own group against which non-discriminatory practices are recommended.
