Mission:
The Office for Equity, Diversity, and Global Outreach serves as a campus resource on issues of equity and diversity for students, staff, faculty and administrators on the main campus, in the NDSU Extension Service and its county offices, and in the N.D. Agricultural Experiment Station and its research and extension centers throughout the state.

Specifically, the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Global Outreach:

• Coordinates the university's efforts to create an organizational climate that encourages and respects diversity and complies with federal and state civil rights laws.
• Addresses informal equal opportunity grievances and coordinates the formal equal opportunity grievance process.
• Provides formal and informal programs and training about equity and diversity issues for faculty, staff, students and administrators.
• Monitors the recruitment/selection process for all NDSU non-broadbanded staff, faculty and major administrators.

Individuals with questions or concerns are invited to contact the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Global Outreach.
