The mission of the Equal Opportunity Planning Committee (EOPC) is to promote greater equity for historically underrepresented groups within the University and/or those groups that have been historical targets of discrimination. EOPC was formed in 1983 as a response to a desegregation mandate issued by the U.S. Department of Education to all public institutions within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; further, EOPC is an outgrowth of Penn State's strategic planning goal to become "a caring University community that provides leadership for constructive participation in a diverse, multicultural world."
