Equal Opportunity & Outreach

UMass Lowell is committed to fostering a welcoming, respectful and safe working and learning community. To assist the university in meeting this goal, Equal Opportunity and Outreach:

  • Designs and implements diversity, inclusion, workforce planning, and management initiatives, based on best practices
  • Provides guidance to address and resolve matters related to civil rights including, among others, employment discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault 
  • Offers alternate resolution services, when appropriate 
  • Provides guidance and support to attract and retain diverse students, faculty and staff 
  • Reviews concerns in accordance with the university’s equal opportunity Guidelines 

EOO welcomes the opportunity to hear from you to discuss these services. 

This “EEO is the Law” poster (pdf) provides an overview of many relevant equal opportunity laws.
