Driven by feedback from the OLLU community, President’s Council has approved expanding the Compliance and Title IX Office to become the Office for Institutional Equity and Compliance (OIEC). With this intentional focus on equity, the position of Equity and Compliance Officer/Title IX Coordinator has replaced the Compliance Officer/Title IX Coordinator position, currently held by Nicole Monsibais, MPA, JD. As the Equity and Compliance Officer/Title IX Coordinator, Monsibais is also responsible for chairing the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility (IDEA) Council, a body officially established in 2022 as part of Strategic Plan Initiative 2.9 Cultural Inclusiveness and Equity.

The transformation of this office and position reflects the institution’s commitment to: 

• Advancing the work of the IDEA Council in cultivating a sense of belonging by promoting a sustainable framework of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility excellence,

• Continuous improvement, transparency, and accountability, and

• Maintaining a culture of compliance through strategic collaborations advancing the university’s mission and core values.

Future opportunities to learn more and get involved with this essential work will be announced in the coming weeks.
