The University of California strives to maintain a community where all individuals who participate in its programs and activities can work and learn together in an environment free of harassment, exploitation, or intimidation. Every member of the community should be aware that the University prohibits sexual harassment and sexual violence, and that such behavior violates both law and University policy.
The Sexual Violence Prevention and Response team at UC San Francisco supports the University’s commitment in the following ways:
- Proactive Education and Training – the team attempts to prevent sexual harassment and discrimination from occurring by educating and training the UCSF community about unlawful discrimination and harassment
- Consultation and Support Services – the team assists students, staff, faculty, and visitors with resolving conflict, including those involving discrimination and sexual harassment
- Neutral Investigations – the team responds to complaints regarding discrimination, harassment and sexual violence and oversees the process for resolution and investigation of complaints
