About Us
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/ethnicity, color, national 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.
To fulfill this mission, 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.
