This collection of disability- and accessibility-related resources aims to inform the Marquette community about the events and initiatives occurring across campus. By collecting these resources, our hope is to open up a dialogue across campus and play a role in ensuring accessible and inclusive environments for people of varying abilities by mitigating physical, environmental, attitudinal barriers that exclude people from fully participating in University life.

No matter how well-intentioned we may be, both personal biases and structural race-based inequalities impede our ability to create the conditions in which all our racially and ethnically diverse community members can thrive. If we are to see our vision of a truly diverse, inclusive, and equitable campus come to fruititon, we need to do the hard work of looking internally, examining our own biases and behaviors, and taking steps to be better allies and advocates for change. But becoming anti-racist is a process requiring education and reflection. This page serves as a repository of resources compiled and offered by various units on our campus to help guide our efforts to learn more about bias, race, and racism and plant the seeds for change from the ground up.
A bias incident is any discriminatory or hurtful act that appears to be motivated or is perceived by the victim or victims to be motivated by race, ethnicity, religion, age, national origin, sex, disability, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, veteran or socioeconomic status. In collaboration with the Division of Student Affairs, the Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion supports students who have witnessed or been the target of bias-related incidents, refers them to resources that can provide ongoing support, and informs the Marquette community about the frequency and nature of bias incidents that are reported.
Marquette University provides faculty and staff with a variety of resources for addressing bias incidents and other forms of discrimination or misconduct. Services range from anonymous reporting and confidential consultation to formal grievances.

The Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion supports several Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that actively engage the campus and Milwaukee-area communities. As envisioned in Marquette’s strategic planning theme, A Culture of Inclusion, the primary objectives of ERGs are to promote a sense of community, build personal and professional networks, enhance employee support and retention, and assist in attracting new employees to Marquette to foster a diverse and inclusive community. Each ERG has a direct link to a liaison on the University Leadership Council. While the ERG model is based on common background or interest, in the spirit of inclusivity, any employee can join any ERG.

In accordance with Title IX, Marquette University desires to provide an educational environment that is free of discrimination of any kind, including sex and gender discrimination, and prohibits all forms of sexual violence, coercion, intimidation and harassment.

When an incident of harassment, discrimination or sexual misconduct is reported to an appropriate Marquette official, the Title IX coordinators will respond immediately to stop the discrimination, remedy its effects and prevent its recurrence.
