Welcome to the University of Massachusetts Amherst Office of Equal Opportunity and Access. Our mission is to ensure the UMass Amherst campus community is free from harassment and discrimination, as mandated by law and University policies.

The EOA Office administers the University's Policy Against Discrimination, Harassment, and Related Interpersonal Violence, which prohibits discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and related interpersonal violence.

The Office of Equal Opportunity and Access is here to provide you with support, options, and guidance. We promote an inclusive, equitable, and caring campus culture and oversee the University’s compliance with the Title IX.

The EOA Accessible Workplace unit (within Human Resources) is responsible for administering reasonable workplace accommodations for faculty and staff through an interactive process.
