NC State University’s Equal Opportunity and Non-discrimination Policy provides protections for LGBTQ students, staff and faculty. The policy specifies that “North Carolina State University is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our community. As a public land grant institution, the University strives to ensure that diverse persons of any background are invited, included, and treated equally. The University also strives to maintain a campus environment free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation and to provide an equitable and supportive process for reporting and resolving allegations of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.” To view the full text of this policy, as well as the Student Code of Conduct (which prohibits harassment), please visit NCSU policies.

The Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO), provides preventative education to promote a campus free from discrimination and harassment. OEO also provides support services for students, staff and faculty who have experienced discrimination or harassment and oversees the University’s investigation and response. For information about the reporting process and the resources available through OEO, please visit Safe at NC State.

Impact Response at NC State provides support to people affected by incidents that impact individuals, groups and overall campus community climate. NC State has many existing policies and processes for reporting acts of discrimination, harassment, concern or violence, and our team does not replace or overrule those. We may, however, refer reported incidents to other appropriate university offices and personnel as needed. Impact Response is coordinated by the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) and is comprised of professionals from across campus who work to support anyone impacted by bias. An interdisciplinary, interdepartmental team of staff serve as the OEO Impact Response review team. In collaboration with Campus Community Centers, the Division of Academic and Student Affairs (DASA), and other campus partners, Impact Response advocates support individuals and respond to the institutional impacts of incidents. Check out the Bias Impact Response website for more information.
