Students, staff, faculty, and visitors are strongly encouraged to promptly report concerns or allegations of discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation covered under the University's Equal Opportunity/Anti-Discrimination Policy (EO Policy) so that appropriate action can be taken. The Office of Institutional Equity (OIE), in collaboration with the Executive Director for Campus Accessibility & ADA/504 Coordinator, investigates and resolves allegations of disability-based discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.

Tulane University strives to ensure that our campus experiences and spaces - including, but not limited to: buildings (dorms, dining areas, classrooms, athletic facilities, medical facilities, etc.), transportation, parking areas, events, course materials, and policies - are accessible and free of barriers. Our commitment to accessibility extends beyond the physical campus to any programs, activities, and services provided by Tulane. If you encounter accessibility issues such as objects blocking access areas, broken automated doors, inaccessible events, or attitudes or lack of understanding that impose barriers, please let us know. We will do our best to address the issue through reasonable means of accommodation. If you have been approved for reasonable accommodations by the Goldman Center (students) or the Executive Director for Campus Accessibility & ADA/504 Coordinator (faculty and staff), but you are dissatisfied with the implementation of those accommodations, please follow the procedure below to address your concerns.
