The Office of Institutional Equity (formerly the Office of Equal Opportunity) serves the University of Maine System (UMS) community and guests by ensuring equal access to employment and educational opportunities. We do this through outreach, education, training, complaint resolution, and the advancement of UMS’ nondiscrimination policies. To ensure the community upholds equal opportunity and affirmative action obligations, we provide guidance and training on UMS policies and other federal and state nondiscrimination laws.
