The Office of Equal Opportunity is the primary office at the University of North Texas responsible for enforcing the University's equal opportunity policies and for investigating complaints of discrimination, harassment and retaliation. 

The University of North Texas does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, political affiliation, disability, marital status, ancestry, genetic information, citizenship, or veteran status in its application and admission process, educational programs and activities, university facilities, or employment policies. The University takes active measures to prevent such conduct and immediately investigates and takes remedial action when appropriate. The University also prohibits and takes actions to prevent retaliation against individuals who report or file a charge of discrimination, harassment, or sexual violence; participate in an investigation, or oppose any form of discrimination, harassment, or sexual violence.

Anyone who believes that he or she was the victim of discrimination or harassment, or of sexual harassment in violation of University policies (1.3.7 and 1.3.19) may consult with us for advice and/or file a complaint. All formal complaints will be referred to the Office of Equal Opportunity. Information about filing a complaint is available here: How to File a Complaint.

Anyone who is aware of a suspected violation of these policies is obligated to notify the Office of Equal Opportunity.

Faculty and staff should report suspected violations of the nondiscrimination policy (1.3.7) or the sexual harassment policy (1.3.19) to their immediate supervisor, the administrative director or chair of their department, the Human Resources Department or the Office of Equal Opportunity. Failure to report allegations of sexual harassment by those vested with responsibility to do so under the sexual harassment policy, 1.3.19 sec. 5, b., is a violation of that policy.

Students should report violations of the nondiscrimination policy (1.3.7) or the sexual harassment policy (1.3.19) to the administrative director or chair of the department in which the alleged incident occurred, to the Dean of Students or the Office of Equal Opportunity.
