Office of Institutional Equity

Dear Diary,

Dwight and I went over to the Office of Institutional Equity today to get a sexual harassment video. All employees are supposed to see it and I suggested that we incorporate "Sensitivity & Safety" training for our next generation of workers.

The mission of the Office of Institutional Equity is to ensure that the University of Notre Dame does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, disability, veteran status, or age in the administration of any of its educational programs, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic and other school-administered programs or in employment. We support the University's efforts to comply with both the letter and spirit of laws regarding equal opportunity and affirmative action. We strive to develop a diverse community by welcoming and recruiting others who bring a multitude of talents and backgrounds to the University.

The Office of Institutional Equity offers:

Information, consultation, and resources for the Notre Dame community with regard to diversity, harassment and discrimination prevention, affirmative action, and equal opportunity matters;

A mechanism for addressing complaints of harassment and discrimination;

Oversight of and support for the University's compliance efforts in the areas of equal opportunity and affirmative action.
