The Equity Compliance Office manages reported information that may fall under the Nondiscrimination and Anti-harassment policy at the university. This includes forms of bias (sex, gender, race, ethnicity, veterans status, etc.) as well as harassment (hostile environment, sex based, etc.). The office conducts outreach and works with various offices to ensure appropriate measures are taken to stop the behavior and prevent recurrence.  Members of the UD community are encouraged to share information when it is a question or concern, to allow consultation and the opportunity to address matters informally, where possible.
