Who We Are
The UNM Office of Equal Opportunity investigates claims of discrimination based on a protected status, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct. We also provide oversight of the University’s compliance with Title VII, Title IX, the Clery Act, ADA accommodations, and affirmative action. We can provide training and education on all of these issues. We serve the entire UNM community and work with offices across campus to ensure the University’s commitment to promoting equal access and treatment for all.
