Mason Equal Opportunity 

Mason Equal Opportunity (MasonEO) is a unit within the Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion that carries out nondiscrimination compliance functions, under University Policy 1201 – Non-Discrimination, including training and outreach briefings to the community about Mason’s commitment to nondiscrimination. In recent communications, President Washington highlighted a host of resources at Mason, and we are one of those resources. We want to make sure that your organization is aware of our office and our role here at Mason. Please do not hesitate to contact us at masonEO@gmu.edu with questions. To file a report of discrimination or harassment, please use the following link: https://masondei.guardianconduct.com/incident-reporting?incident_type=Equal%20Opportunity%20Report

 

If you would like us to present a briefing about our office to your organization, please let us know. Our goal is to provide education and to better understand any concerns about discrimination or harassment in your educational environment. This MasonEO briefing will cover, at a minimum, DEI mission and organization, Mason nondiscrimination policies, types and bases of discrimination, rights and responsibilities, and reporting/complaints processing for students.  Additionally, MasonEO is eager to field questions and discussion points that will inform future outreach efforts and informational campaigns.
