The Civil Rights Compliance Office exists to help the Ohio State community prevent and respond to all forms of protected class harassment, discrimination and sexual misconduct. This centralized office houses the university’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), Youth Activities and Programs, and Title IX functions. The Civil Rights Compliance Office's duties and activities align with Ohio State's Shared Values, which reflects essential components of Ohio State’s culture and excellence.
Members of the university community have the right to be free from all forms of discrimination and harassment, including sexual misconduct, which impede the realization of the university’s mission. All members of the university community are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that maintains an environment free from discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct. The university is committed to equal opportunity and eliminating harassment and discrimination. Ohio State will not tolerate retaliation in any form. The university is also committed to providing a safe experience for youth/minors while entrusted to our care. These expectations are consistent with our university’s shared values and the law.
Ohio State does not discriminate on the basis of age, ancestry, color, disability, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, genetic information, HIV/AIDS status, military status, national origin, race, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy, protected veteran status, or any other bases under the law, in its activities, academic programs, admission, and employment.
