Equal Opportunity and Accessibility

Oregon State University strives to ensure that all educational programs, services, activities and materials we offer to the public are identified, developed, delivered, and evaluated in an inclusive, equitable, and socially just manner. OSU Extension Service educational programs, services, activities, and materials are available to all people.

Oregon State University Extension Service prohibits discrimination in all its programs, services, activities, and materials on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity (including gender expression), sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, familial/parental status, income derived from a public assistance program, political beliefs, genetic information, veteran’s status, reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.)

All members of the university community may raise concerns of discrimination, harassment, and bullying with OSU’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Access.
