Tufts Office of Equal Opportunity

The Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) responds to discrimination and harassment complaints, allegations of sexual misconduct, and requests for accommodations from students, faculty, staff, community members, visitors, and patients in order to affirm Tufts’ commitment to equal opportunity, Title VI, Title VII, Title IX, and Accommodations protocols and ensure equal opportunities for all members of our community.

We do this by:

• Developing and offering education and training initiatives for faculty, staff, and students, including confidential support and resources for affected individuals as well as prevention and awareness training for all members of the Tufts community;
• Resolving allegations of discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct for all members of the Tufts community as well as guidance on potential conflict of interests that may arise;
• Providing oversight and guidance to faculty and staff in handling workplace accommodations as outlined in the university’s ADA policy.

We also partner with other key resources at Tufts University that have a mutual commitment of ensuring compliance with all federal, state and local laws and that are uniformly guided by Tufts’ vision and mission.
