UC issues revised anti-discrimination policy
Ria Raniwala, Mar 8, 2024, Daily Cal
This afternoon, the UC Office of the President released a statement issuing a revised anti-discrimination policy applying to employees, students and third parties involved at all UC campuses.
The policy, effective as of Feb. 20, provides new guidelines for university procedures in response to harassment and discrimination allegations based on protected categories. It mandates UC responsible employees (encompassing all UC employees who are not confidential resources) to notify the Office for the Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination promptly after any reported incident.
“The Anti-Discrimination policy provides a strong foundation to UC Berkeley’s commitment to fostering a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive University campus, while recognizing the protection of free speech under the law,” said representatives of UC Berkeley’s Chancellor’s office in a press release to all campus emails.
This policy works within the framework of the UC-wide Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Policy, which is also supported by the newly established UC Office of Civil Rights. These initiatives will work in tandem to provide leadership and support on protecting civil rights across all UC campuses, affiliates and the UC Office of the President.
So, did anything happen with regard to the Feb. 20 anti-discrimination rules on March 8?* Some revision or clarification?
