Equal Opportunity Compliance serves as a focal point of Temple's institution-wide efforts for equal opportunity, equal access, and affirmative action, providing direction through information, assistance, and complaint investigation for those who have experienced discrimination, harassment, or retaliation.  

To contact an EO Ombudspersons, please find contact information for your school’s EO Ombudsperson listed here, or contact a representative of the Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance.

Conflicts can sometimes be easier to resolve in an informal atmosphere in which people can identify an issue, talk it out and agree on how to deal with it. Any person who believes that they have experienced discrimination, harassment and/or retaliation can make an informal complaint to any Equal Opportunity (EO) Ombudsperson. An Ombudsperson is simply an Official who investigates complaints. In many instances, informal discussion, counseling and mediation can be useful in resolving perceived instances of discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation.

Members of the university community who believe that they are victims of discrimination, harassment and/or retaliation also may bring a formal administrative complaint by filing a written complaint directly with the University's  Equal Opportunity Compliance.
