The Office of Institutional Equity (OIE), formerly referred to as the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Programs, was established to provide leadership for university efforts to promote institutional equity and a diverse university community. The Office assures that the University’s programs and procedures comply with federal, state and local laws and regulations as related to affirmative action and equal opportunity with special attention to disability issues. The Office develops and coordinates the implementation of the University’s Institutional Equity Programs and procedures. In addition, the office provides training efforts related to disability issues and sexual and other forms of harassment.
The Office receives, investigates and responds to discrimination complaints on the basis of gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status or other legally protected characteristic. The Office also provides mediation services for university-related issues. Please visit the Equity Compliance & Education page for more information on mediation services. Please review the Anti-Harassment Policy.
