Educational Resources

To advance Occidental College’s commitment to maintaining an environment free of all forms of discrimination and harassment, the Civil Rights & Title IX Office provides resources to help recognize and address various forms of discrimination and harassment.

The Civil Rights & Title IX Office is dedicated to providing the Oxy community with tools to expand knowledge and foster a shared understanding of diverse perspectives, identities, and lived experiences. Cultivating knowledge and understanding is essential to sustaining a supportive and welcoming living and learning environment where all members of the Oxy community feel safe, valued, and respected.
