Creating a diverse, welcoming and equitable campus


The Office of Title IX & Institutional Equity is charged with the responsibility to oversee the University's compliance efforts with state and federal laws surrounding Title IX, Affirmative Action, Non-Discrimination, Equal Opportunity, and campus-wide initiatives aimed at creating a diverse, welcoming and equitable campus.

What We Do

The office provides advice on policies, programs and services to achieve Affirmative Action goals and enhance the culture of the campus community; oversees the prevention, reporting, investigation, and remedy of sexual discrimination (including harassment, assault, and violence) and non-discrimination on campus. The staff of the Office of Title IX & Institutional Equity delivers educational programs, support activities and programs throughout the campus community (for students, faculty and staff) on the issues of sexual discrimination, equity, diversity, and affirmative action. Programs are offered as scheduled or upon request.

A-State is committed to the goal of equal opportunity for all.

This policy is adopted by the Arkansas State University Board of Trustees. All personnel responsible for hiring employees and recruiting students share a responsibility to support the university's equal opportunity and affirmative action program and to provide leadership in achieving its goals.

Equal Employment Opportunity

A-State does not discriminate on the basis of color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, age, national origin, religion, marital status, veteran status, genetic information or disability in any of its practices, policies or procedures. This includes, but is not limited to, employment, admissions, educational services, programs or activities which it operates or financial aid.

It is the responsibility of all departments and all personnel, supervisory and non-supervisory, to see that this policy is implemented throughout the university.
