What We Do...

The Equal Opportunity (EO) staff has the responsibility to ensure compliance with federal and state laws by providing dispute resolution for complaints as they relate to discrimination.  EO will serve as a liaison between faculty, staff and students as well as different university entities to provide guidance to the university community through processes for equity and nondiscrimination and by providing assistance to departments with the hiring goals and recruitment of Faculty, Staff and Administrative & Professional employees. EO will conduct reviews and/or investigations in an effort to establish whether discrimination has occurred and implement and facilitate training programs that create awareness of equal opportunity and diversity related issues. This office also coordinates the disability accommodation request process by providing guidance to employees and supervisors.

Disability Accommodation or Hoop Policy 2.18C has been updated as of April 2008 to address procedures that members of the university community (students, employees, etc.) should follow when requesting accommodations for a disability.

"Reasonable accommodations may be provided to enable an individual to perform the essential functions of his/her job and/or to participate in university academic programs, services, and activities." To learn more please visit HOOP Policy 2.18C Disability Accommodations
