As Indiana University prioritizes initiatives to provide students with universal access to resources, programs and services that support their success, it is also taking steps to ensure the university is fully compliant with state and federal laws and guidance regarding diversity, equity and inclusion.

The university continues to update and enhance student success initiatives. This includes efforts related to academic advising, engagement and student well-being, among other efforts to make a robust array of resources available to all students.

Select student programs and centers on IU’s campuses have been integrated into student-facing offices, positioning them to provide programming and resources that are universally available to all students across IU campuses.

To further ensure compliance with state and federal guidance, the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will sunset, effective today. The university is also directing campuses, schools and units to take necessary steps to ensure compliance with state and federal policies and guidance.

Finally, the Office of Institutional Equity has transitioned to become the Office of Civil Rights Compliance, which more accurately reflects its work and mission to oversee the university’s compliance with federal civil rights laws.

Where necessary, the university will communicate directly with relevant students, faculty, staff and other stakeholders to provide additional information and support. IU will continue to affirm its fundamental goal of ensuring every student is equipped to thrive — in the classroom and after graduation.
