Diversity @ ISU

How to File a Complaint 



Contact EOD at (515) 294-7612 or eodoffice@iastate.edu.

  • Iowa State University’s primary goal is to prevent discrimination and harassment and stop such behavior if it occurs. To that end, Iowa State University has adopted informal and formal processes through which discrimination and harassment complaints can be resolved.
     
  • For claims of harassment or discrimination based on race, color, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, marital status, disability, or status as a U.S. veteran, you may seek informal resolution or file a formal complaint. Both procedures are explained in the University's Discrimination and Harassment Policy.

  • In addition, there are other university policies that identify and explain complaint resolution procedures in various settings.
  • If you would like assistance in determining whether to file a discrimination and/or harassment complaint or would like to discuss your options in more detail, contact one of the Discrimination & Harassment Assistors, who are specially trained to help you through this process.

  • The staff at the Office of Equal Opportunity & Diversity can explain our policies to you and assist in initiating the complaint resolution process.

  • You may file a formal complaint with the Office of Equal Opportunity & Diversity, 3210 Beardshear Hall, Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m or by appointment. If your complaint is against a faculty member, you may instead choose to file a written, signed complaint with the Provost’s Office, 1550 Beardshear, during regular business hours.

  • If you decide to file a formal complaint with the Office of Equal Opportunity & Diversity, you will need to complete an Intake Form in addition to submitting a written, signed complaint. This formal complaint process is explained in more detail in the University’s policy. Our staff can also answer questions about the formal complaint process.

  • If you wish to file a complaint with an external agency, see our Links for addresses of those agencies.
