    If you would like to learn more about topics of diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and social justice, there are several ways you can do so at KU.

    The Office of DEIB provides a resource portal where you can learn more about specific identities or topics. Additionally, the Office of Multicultural Affairs offers social justice trainings for students, and the Center for Sexuality & Gender Diversity offers SafeZone trainings for students and employees.

    There are many more opportunities to learn both in and out of the classroom. Some avenues to explore:

    The training uses situations and topics that can be triggering to individuals who have experienced microaggressions and/or discrimination based on historically marginalized identities. Requests for training alternatives or exemptions should be submitted to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (diversity@ku.edu) and/or Student Affairs (studentaffairs@ku.edu) for review.

    Support for students affected by discrimination and/or harassment based on historically marginalized identities is available upon request to Student Affairs (studentaffairs@ku.edu).

    Any incidents of possible discrimination, harassment, sexual or relationship violence, and/or stalking should be reported to the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX.
