Our Office

Responds to reports, assesses and responds to impact, supports pregnant and parenting students, engages in outreach, and oversees Clery compliance.


A One University Office

The Office of Civil Rights and Title IX (formerly "Institutional Opportunity and Access" and "Equal Opportunity and Academic Compliance"), serves all KU campuses, instructional sites, and anywhere the educational environment exists. We are dedicated to stopping, preventing, and remedying acts if harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct, resulting in the building of a greater sense of belonging for all.

As a One University Office, we serve every corner of the entire KU system. From the the Lawrence, Edwards, and Medical Center campuses, to instructional sites in Juniper Gardens, Topeka, and more. We also follow the KU community when they are engaged in educational and university sponsored work outside our physical campuses, like study abroad trips and conferences.
