About the MU Equity Office

The MU Equity Office works with MU faculty, staff, and students who believe they may have been subjected to unfair or inequitable treatment for any reason.

Our office seeks to address bias, including but not limited to discrimination on the basis of considerations prohibited by law or official university policy. We assist individuals who believe they may have been harassed or treated differently from others in the same situation.

You Be the Judge!

Marie, a devout Catholic, wears an anti-abortion button to work each day. Co-workers complain the graphic picture of a fetus is offensive; some threaten to quit and productivity declines. Marie refuses her boss's request to cover-up the button when she is outside her office. Marie is fired. If you were the judge, would you find that the boss discriminated against Marie on the basis of religion?
