OEO is the central place at Emerson for students, staff and faculty to report concerns about discrimination, harassment and sexual violence (including sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking and sexual exploitation). OEO can meet with individuals who may have experienced this conduct to discuss their experience, provide support resources and to review what options may be available if that person was interested in taking steps to address that conduct. OEO is responsible for the informal and formal resolution processes that are available internally to address this type of conduct, and also conducts training on these topics campus-wide.

Anyone who believes they have experienced an incident of discrimination, harassment or sexual violence is encouraged to contact the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) for support, resources and information about options for addressing that conduct. This would include conduct based on any of the protected categories, such as race, color, national origin, ethnicity, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, religion, disability, age, and other protected identities.
