Company Overview

The Office of Diversity and Equity (ODE) at the University of Connecticut is part of the Office of Multicultural & International Affairs (OMIA) which is composed of several units that differ with respect to mission, programs of instruction, services provided, and the nature of their contributions to the core mission of the University.

In that regard, ODE supports the University's commitment to diversity, multiculturalism, social equity, and affirmative action by providing advice and services. ODE advises the President, executive and senior administration on institutional civil rights and social equity policies, issues and problems.

Individually and in collaboration with other divisions and units, the office develops and implements programs and activities to promote a positive campus environment. ODE manages special projects for the retention of minorities and women and diversity training programs that require central oversight.

The office monitors the University's compliance with and develops activities to support the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). ODE investigates complaints of discrimination and discriminatory harassment, and manages all pre-litigation civil rights cases filed against the University with state and federal enforcement agencies.

The office prepares the University's Affirmative Action Plan for Employment (state and federal versions); monitors employment systems, including search policies and procedures; and assists the University administration on matters relating to institutional compliance.

ODE engages in outreach activities to campus units and external groups in the state, region, and nation.
