For the past six months, both the Department of Equity and Compliance and the Center
for Student Rights and Responsibilities have been working in the same space and under
a shared director. This combination was a temporary measure to maintain campus commitment
to safety, compliance, and care while recruiting for a new Equity and Compliance Director.
However, working together has allowed our offices to find efficiencies as well as
opportunities to enhance services provided to the university community. It quickly
became clear there would be a benefit to permanently integrating our efforts and expertise.
I’m very excited to present our new Office of Rights, Compliance and Accountability.
ORCA will serve as a single point of contact for matters involving Title IX, discrimination,
student behavioral intervention, crisis management and our Student CARE Team.
