About
The University of Kansas Medical Center and the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX are dedicated to supporting outstanding leaders and educators who inspire an environment that engages minds, expands knowledge and fosters academic excellence. To achieve this goal, KU Medical Center must be free of all forms of illegal and unlawful discrimination and harassment. It must also recognize its regulatory obligations as an institution of higher learning to continually improve and enhance the academic environment. Our office supports all KU campuses in the mission to achieve greater fairness, care and belonging in our learning and workplace practices and to provide opportunities for all Jayhawks to meet their academic and professional goals.
