The Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) is responsible for addressing all instances of discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence within the 葡京电子官网 community. OEO is a resource to support students, faculty, and staff. If you or someone you know feels that they are experiencing conduct directed at them because of a protected identity (such as race, color, national origin, ethnicity, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, religion, disability, or age), or have experienced sexual violence, including sexual assault, relationship violence, or stalking, OEO is available to support you, walk you through the College鈥檚 policies and processes, and talk about your options. Our goal is to make sure you have the information you need so that you can make the right decision for you.
Report A Concern
To report concerns about discrimination, harassment, or sexual violence, please email oeo [at] emerson.edu (oeo[at]emerson[dot]edu) or use our online reporting form (which has an anonymous option). OEO can answer your questions, provide information about supportive measures, and work with you regarding your experience. We are available to meet virtually or in person.
OEO is led by Sonia Jurado, 葡京电子官网鈥檚 Associate Vice President of Equity, Access, and Equal Opportunity. Sonia also serves as the College鈥檚 Title IX and ADA/Section 504 coordinator. Meet the OEO team.
