Indiana University has long been committed to providing equal opportunity to its academic and work settings and ensuring its campuses are free of discrimination and harassment. The university believes a rich diversity of people and points of view enhances the quality of the education and work experience at Indiana University.

IU established the Office of Affirmative Action to provide leadership for the university's commitment and efforts to promote institutional equity and a diverse university community.

Our office provides counseling, advice, and information to university administrators, deans, department heads, faculty, staff, and students in their efforts to create a diverse and inclusive learning and work environment free of discrimination and harassment.

Although the Office of Affirmative Action has been charged with ensuring the university's compliance to federal, state, and local affirmative action and equal opportunity laws, providing affirmative action and equal opportunity is the shared responsibility of the entire IU community. This integrated approach to equal opportunity and diversity means that all students, faculty, staff, and visitors should find hospitable and equitable treatment in every program and facility on every campus at Indiana University.
