Supporting People, Creating Accountability

& Advancing USC's Mission

Welcome to the new site for USC Human Resources, Equity & Compliance

The university’s Human Resources division, led by Senior Vice President Felicia A. Washington, encompasses the departments that support people, create accountability, and advance USC’s mission.

We provide a wide variety of important services to faculty, staff, and student employees to ensure they have access to benefits, support and career advancement resources. We also confront discrimination in all of its forms, aligning policies, procedures, and practices that reflect and give meaning to the University’s foundational commitment to equity and inclusion.
