MIT Ombuds Office

The MIT Ombuds Office helps people express concerns, resolve disputes, manage conflicts, and learn more productive ways of communicating. The MIT Ombuds Office serves as an independent, confidential, neutral and informal resource to the diverse MIT community — it is a resource for faculty, staff, students and post-docs. It provides a place for every voice at MIT to be heard and to receive impartial attention without fear of loss of privacy. The Ombuds Office seeks to promote a fair conflict management system and supports systemic changes to achieve this goal.

Institute Discrimination and Harassment Response Office

MIT is committed to providing a working, living, and learning environment free from discrimination and discriminatory harassment for all community members including students, faculty, and staff. While preventing such incidents is a community-wide responsibility, the Institute Discrimination and Harassment Response Office supports community members who have experienced harm to access available resources and reporting options. The Institute Discrimination and Harassment Response Office (formerly the Title IX and Bias Response Office) has worked to end the prohibited behavior, prevent recurrence, and remedy the effects by providing impartial investigations, resources, and accommodations.
