Welcome to the East Carolina University Office of Equal Opportunity and Equity website. As we endeavor to grow in excellence as an institution, we understand the very important role of equity and diversity in that process. 

The Office of Equal Opportunity and Equity (EOE) has been established to provide centralized leadership to East Carolina University's efforts to ensure compliance and equity in all programming, employment and educational opportunity regardless of an individual’s age, color, creed, disability, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation or veterans’ status.  The areas within the Office of Equal Opportunity and Equity offer programs and services to support an inclusive working and learning environment and are available to faculty, staff and students.

ECU is committed to enriching the lives of students, faculty and staff by providing a diverse academic community where the exchange of ideas, knowledge and perspectives is an active part of living and learning.

Please feel free to browse our pages for information relative to policies, programming, and procedures and please do not hesitate to contact the EOE staff should you have any questions.
