Diversity at the University of Oregon

The University of Oregon is committed to a campus environment that is enriched and informed by the personal, cultural and intellectual differences of its students, faculty, staff and visitors.  The UO Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity (OIED) plays a central role in fulfilling that ongoing commitment through leadership on issues that enhance institutional fairness and equality, eradicate discrimination and celebrate the strengths of a multicultural community.  The University, including the President, the Provost, and all senior administrators, under the immediate direction of Prof. Charles Martinez, Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity, will continue work towards improving diversity at the UO.

The Underrepresented Minority Recruitment Program (UMRP) encourages departments to hire underrepresented minority faculty in tenure-related faculty appointments by providing supplemental funds to the department through its school or college following the successful tenure-related appointment of a new colleague from an underrepresented group.  For more information and the UMRP application form visit the link above.
