Welcome!

Welcome to Western Washington’s Equal Opportunity Office (EOO).  The EOO serves faculty, staff, and students in ensuring that the campus climate is free from discrimination and sexual harassment.  Federal and State laws, as well as University policies, protect faculty, staff, and students against discrimination based on the following legal protected categories:  Race, Color, Creed, Religion, National Origin, Sex, Age, Disability, Marital Status, Sexual Orientation and Gender Expression or Identity, or Veteran Status.

If faculty, staff, or students believe they have been treated unfairly based on one of the legal protected categories listed above, they may contact our office for advice and assistance.  We are dedicated to trying to informally resolve and mediate discrimination concerns, if possible, and in investigating and resolving formal complaints should they be filed.

The EOO also serves as a resource to faculty, staff and students on a wide variety of equal opportunity, affirmative action and diversity related issues.  The Office has a growing library of publications and media that deal with these subjects.  Should you have any questions about our office, resources or services, we welcome a visit or call.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sue Guenter-Schlesinger
Vice Provost for Equal Opportunity & Employment Diversity
