Civil Rights Compliance Office

The Civil Rights Compliance Office (CRC) is responsible for compliance with civil rights laws and University policy. Federal and state laws collectively prohibit discrimination based on protected characteristics, including age, citizenship, disability, national origin or shared ancestry, race, sex, gender, veteran status, and more. We serve the University by making it welcoming to all through education, compassionate response, and fair and timely resolution.

Civil rights and Title IX are fundamentally about ensuring access, equity, and inclusion. Our work in these spaces is not only to ensure compliance with these laws, but also to foster a University culture where everyone feels welcome, supported, and empowered to thrive.
