Office of Civil Rights Compliance
The Office of Civil Rights Compliance (OCRC) works to ensure equal opportunity in education and employment for our faculty, staff and students and to assure compliance with Title VII, Title IX, the ADAAA and other civil rights-based legislation.
OCRC is responsible for handling reports of discrimination, harassment and sexual misconduct and for providing supportive measures, resources and options to impacted individuals.
Additionally, OCRC oversees sexual assault and harassment prevention and education efforts on campus, conducts climate surveys, reviews search processes and related workforce analysis reports.
OCRC Functions
Whether it's through education or the handling of reports, the work of the Office of Civil Rights Compliance on campus and in the community focuses on these important themes:
- Discrimination, Harassment, & Sexual Misconduct
- Equal Opportunity
- Prevention & Education
If you have questions about discrimination and protected classes, need a presentation to your student group or have an incident needing to be reported, we’re here to listen and provide support. Please let us know how we can best be of service to you.
