The Equal Opportunity (EO) unit strives to make App State a discrimination-free, harassment-free environment for faculty, students, and staff to work, live, and learn. EO oversees university equal opportunity policies, responds to complaints of discrimination & harassment based on protected status or workplace violence, conducts investigations, develops and delivers training and educational outreach to campus, as well as provides consultation to supervisors and managers regarding equal opportunity concerns and initiatives. 

Appalachian State University is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The University does not discriminate in access to its educational programs and activities, or with respect to hiring or the terms and conditions of employment, on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, or veteran status.

Equal opportunity plans are available to review upon request through Human Resources.
