About our Division
The University of Oregon's Division of Equity and Inclusion (DEI) promotes inclusive excellence by working to ensure equitable access to opportunities, benefits, and resources for all faculty, administrators, students, and community members. Our work is guided by the UO IDEAL framework of Inclusion, Diversity, Evaluation, Achievement, Leadership. We work towards:
- Diversity: Numeral and symbolic representation of different types of identities and people.
- Inclusion: Authentic and empowered participation in decision-making processes in ways that lead to equity.
- Equity: A structural concept that describes a process whereby each individual gets what they need to succeed, including access to opportunity, networks, resources, and support. Equity takes into account where people are and where they need to go.

Respectful Workplace Policies
Together, we share the responsibility to foster and maintain a culture of respect. In support of that commitment, workplace harassment & discrimination prevention training is mandatory for all university faculty and staff.
Calendar for Religious Holidays
The UO encourages students to arrange accommodations with instructors by submitting a form by the second week of the term in the events that a religious observance interferes with their class schedule. Eligible employees may use a paid floating holiday for religious observances.
