Division of Inclusion and Belonging

As shared in the June 26 community message, Bowling Green State University is making organizational changes to comply with Ohio’s SB1, the Advance Ohio Higher Education Act. This includes expanding the Division of Community and Well-Being to continue programming that remains allowed at Ohio’s public universities under SB1, which had traditionally been delivered by the Division of Inclusion and Belonging.

The Division of Inclusion and Belonging, as well as the centers and offices it housed, including the Center for Women and Gender Equity and the Center for Student Connections and Opportunity, have been discontinued. Programming and services that these centers provided that remain allowed under SB1 will now be delivered by the Division of Community and Well-Being.

Website updates to reflect the compliance-related changes are forthcoming. For additional information on support resources and programming, connect with the Office of the Dean of Students. For compliance-related questions, connect with the Office of State and Federal Compliance and Non-Discrimination.
