Welcome to Equity, Diversity and Compliance
Mission Statement
The Office of Equity, Diversity, and Compliance is charged with developing, sustaining, and extending living, learning, and working environments that are fair, inclusive, and welcoming for all members of the Appalachian State University community. Equitable access to education for all students is an institutional imperative, as is the vigorous recruitment of an increasingly diverse faculty and staff.
The Office celebrates and cultivates diversity in all its aspects through education, outreach, and the building of community. Concerns about unlawful harassment brought by any member of the university community are addressed by an equity officer and brought to resolution if indicated. And, because education is the cornerstone of this institution, the training of all employees to recognize and prevent discrimination in the workplace is integral to creating and sustaining a vital culture that extends equal opportunity for all people to learn, work, and grow to their fullest potential.
For more information or to make an appointment, call 262-2144 or visit www.edc.appstate.edu. The Office of Equity, Diversity and Compliance is located in 123 I.G. Greer Hall, directly underneath International Programs. Dr. Linda K. Robinson is the associate vice chancellor for Equity, Diversity and Compliance.
