The Office of Discrimination and Harassment (ODH) was created on August 15, 2005, the implementation date of the University of Colorado at Boulder Policy on Discrimination and Harassment. The ODH also enforces the University of Colorado Sexual Harassment Policy and Procedures and the University of Colorado Policy on Conflict of Interest in Cases of Amorous Relationships which were previously enforced by the Office of Sexual Harassment (OSH). On August 15, 2005, the OSH merged with the newly created ODH to administer all three policies.

The Office of Discrimination and Harassment will address all complaints of discrimination and harassment based upon race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation or veteran status when the alleged harasser is an employee. If the alleged harasser is a student, the complaint will be addressed by the Office of Judicial Affairs. 

The University is committed to taking appropriate action against those who violate the policy on discrimination and harassment, the sexual harassment policy or the policy on amorous relationships.  Individuals who violate these policies will be disciplined or subjected to corrective action, up to and including termination or expulsion.
