Dear Colleagues, The Office of the President invites comments to the proposed revisions to the Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Policy (“SVSH Policy”). The SVSH Policy has been revised to address critical concerns identified through feedback received earlier this year from faculty, staff, and students from across the system. In addition, changes have been made as required by the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) in its February 2018 resolution agreement with UC Berkeley and recommended by the California State Auditor in its June 2018 report on UC’s response to SVSH complaints. The key issues addressed by the proposed revisions to the Policy include:
You may access the proposed redlined version at SVSH Policy (redlined draft) and the current version of the policy at SVSH Policy (current) Employees covered by this policy who wish to provide comments on the proposed revisions may submit them to Evelyn Cheng, Systemwide Title IX Program Coordinator (evelyn.cheng@ucop.edu), no later than Monday, December 17, 2018. Thank you, Jo & Denise Jo Mackness, Interim AVC-HR If you are a manager who supervises UC Berkeley employees without email access, please circulate this information to all. |
