Office of Equal Opportunity

The Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) serves University of Cincinnati students, faculty, staff, and visitors in ensuring equal access to University programs and activities in support of the University’s commitment to equity and inclusion. OEO works to ensure that all persons can work, live, and learn free from all forms of discrimination or harassment. OEO coordinates the University’s comprehensive response to incidents of discrimination and harassment, including sex-based discrimination (including sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking), discrimination or harassment on the basis of age, ancestry, color, disability, gender identity and/or expression, genetic information, military status (including veteran status), national origin, parental status (including status as a nursing mother and status as a foster parent), pregnancy, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other status protected by law (collectively, “protected class”.)

OEO also has the responsibility of developing, revising, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating the affirmative action program and plan, and the equal employment practices of the University of Cincinnati.
