Equal Opportunity Services

The office of Equal Opportunity Services is a unit of Human Resources, which serves the university community as a whole. Carnegie Mellon values equality of opportunity, mutual respect, and diversity. Equal Opportunity Services (EOS) will support and advance these principals consistent with the Carnegie Mellon Strategic Plan.

To this end, EOS will provide consultative services and periodic assessment of the university's progress in, policies on and commitment to:

• Drive equal opportunity through affirmative action,
• Provide accessibility and accommodation to individuals with disabilities
• Listen to and investigate grievances objectively and fairly
• Create a sustainable, supportive, rewarding and collaborative environment 

While faculty, staff, and students are the principal constituencies served, EOS also cooperates closely with members of the local and regional community, government agencies, and department at the local, state, and federal levels, and other institutions of higher education throughout the nation.
