Prevention of sexual harassment and sexual violence

Everyone at UC — students, faculty, staff and administrators — has the right to a safe learning and working environment. UC does not tolerate sexual violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, dating/domestic violence or stalking. Each of us plays a critical role in ensuring the university is a safe place, and should know the rules of being part of the UC community.

• UC is committed to fostering a community where everyone works and learns together in a place free of harassment, exploitation and intimidation.
• UC will respond promptly to reports of sexual violence and take appropriate action to prevent it and when necessary, take disciplinary action.
• UC expects everyone to take university education and training courses on sexual violence prevention. Faculty, other academic appointees and staff are required to take sexual harassment prevention training.

UC’s policies and codes of conduct spell out the rights and responsibilities of employees in ensuring that UC is a safe environment, and how the university addresses reports of sexual violence and sexual harassment.
