Organization (as of June 1, 2026)
Office for Disability Equity is housed within the DEI Practice Division of the Center for Diversity, Center for Coproduction of Inclusion Diversity and Equity (IncluDE). It consists of approximately 40 faculty and staff members—including the Executive Officer in Charge, the Office Director, the Deputy Office Director, and the Directors of the Hongo and Komaba branches—as well as staff at the Hongo and Komaba branches (faculty members, coordinators, and administrative staff).
