North Carolina State University is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our community. As a public land grant institution, the University strives to ensure that persons of any background are invited, included, and treated equally. The University also strives to maintain a campus environment free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation and to provide a process for reporting and resolving allegations of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.

The Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO)  is dedicated to creating an inclusive NC State experience where every individual, regardless of their beliefs, background, orientation, or ability, feels a sense of belonging within the Wolfpack community. To achieve this vision, OEO strives to ensure equal opportunity across campus, strengthen relationships among diverse groups, and foster a welcoming and respectful environment. Additionally, OEO provides essential services and outreach to both the campus and the broader community, adhere to accountability and compliance standards, and prepare students, faculty, and staff for collaboration on local, state, national, and global levels.

NC State prohibits unlawful discrimination and harassment based on a person’s protected status in University sponsored programs and activities. NC State also prohibits retaliation for any protected activity. “Protected Status” is defined as an individual’s actual or perceived: race, color, or national origin (including shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics), sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity, and pregnancy or related conditions), age, disability, genetic information, religion, and veteran’s status.

If you feel you have experienced discrimination or harassment, you may file a report with the Office of Equal Opportunity.
