University Resources that Support Diversity, Civility, and Equity

The University of Chicago has several offices on campus to assist students for support in general. Students are encouraged to utilize these resources, whether or not a concern relates to a bias incident, hate crime, or unlawful discrimination and harassment.

The first four offices listed directly below will handle concerns or complaints in general: your academic area Dean of Students, the Office of the Vice-President and Dean of Students in the University, the Office of the Provost (particularly for issues involving faculty, administration, and staff), the Office of the Student Ombudsperson. Following is a list of additional offices that help students with specific questions and concerns.

Your Academic Area Dean of Students

Your Dean of Students and his/her staff are a key resource for students. The deans of students are your advocates and are available to you when you need someone who will try to understand your perspective on a situation and who can make suggestions that are attuned to your needs. They treat their relationships with students as private and will only disclose a student’s situation to other administrators in an effort to resolve the student’s situation.
