OIE's Mission Statement

Under the auspices of the President, The Office for Institutional Equity provides institutional leadership in sustaining a respectful and inclusive environment. We provide a range of services to employees, managers, senior leaders and students that ensure access to employment and educational opportunities, coordinate federal and state compliance efforts, and facilitate learning opportunities for all Duke employees.

To fulfill our mission, the Office for Institutional Equity provides:

Individual consultation to Duke’s managers, supervisors, staff, faculty, students, and administrators on these same subjects;

A mechanism for handling complaints of harassment and discrimination;

Oversight of and support for the University’s compliance efforts in the areas of equal opportunity and affirmative action, harassment, non-discrimination, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; and
