Equal Opportunity & Title IX (EO/TIX) is the primary office at the University of North Texas responsible for enforcing the University's equal opportunity policies and for investigating complaints of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and sexual misconduct. 

The University of North Texas System is firmly committed to equal opportunity and does not permit -- and takes actions to prevent -- discrimination, harassment (including sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking) and retaliation on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, genetic information, or veteran status in its application, employment practices and facilities; nor permits race, color, national origin, religion, age, disability, veteran status, or sex discrimination and harassment in its admissions processes, and educational programs and activities, facilities and employment practices. The University of North Texas System promptly investigates complaints of discrimination, harassment and related retaliation and takes remedial action when appropriate. The University of North Texas System also takes actions to prevent retaliation against individuals who oppose any form of harassment or discriminatory practice, file a charge or report, or testify, assist or participate in an investigative proceeding or hearing.

Reporting Obligations:

Every member of the university community has a responsibility to keep the environment free of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and sexual misconduct. The University can only take corrective action when it becomes aware of problems. Therefore, the University encourages persons who believe that they have experienced discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or sexual misconduct to come forward promptly with their inquiries, reports, or complaints and to seek assistance from EO/TIX staff. Supervisors have a responsibility to notify EO/TIX when they receive complaints of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or sexual misconduct from parties within their units.

  • Anyone who is made aware of a suspected violation of the policies prohibiting discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or sexual misconduct is obligated to notify Equal Opportunity & Title IX.
  • Faculty and staff should report suspected violations to their immediate supervisor and Equal Opportunity & Title IX.
  • Students should report violations to the administrative director or chair of the department in which the alleged incident occurred and Equal Opportunity & Title IX.

You may contact EO/TIX via email at OEOTIX@unt.edu or phone at 940-565-2759.
