Office of Equal Opportunity

Welcome to the Office of Equal Opportunity

At South Carolina State University, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful and equitable environment for all members of our campus community. Rooted in our land-grant mission and proud legacy as a historically Black university, SC State embraces diversity as a source of strength and a foundation for academic excellence.

The Office of Equal Opportunity ensures compliance with federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination and harassment, including Title IX, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. We work to promote fairness in employment and education through outreach, education, and timely resolution of concerns.

Whether you are a student, faculty or staff member, we are here to support your right to learn and work in an environment free from discrimination, retaliation and bias.

Together, we build a campus where opportunity is equal and every voice matters.
