About the Office of Employee Equity
Rowan University is committed to providing every employee, prospective employee, and student with a work and educational environment free from discrimination and harassment. The University strives to provide a respectful workplace that allows its employees to use their best efforts to advance the University's mission, without fear or intimidation, and protect its employees from bullying and the unwarranted disruption of their work.
The Office of Employee Equity supports these efforts by ensuring Rowan is compliant with federal, state, and university policies related to employment practices. This is accomplished through fostering an environment of collaboration, respect, and accountability for management and employees.
OEE is charged with overseeing the Policy Prohibiting Discrimination in the Workplace and Educational Environment and the Disruptive Behavior and Workplace Violence Policy. These policies guide the University’s response to reports of potential misconduct.
