YOU ARE PROTECTED
Federal and State law, as well as University of California policy prohibits sexual harassment in an employment setting and in an educational setting. Retaliation by those accused of harassing behavior is prohibited.

Sexual harassment can occur between various constituencies present on campus. For example, harassment can take place between professors and students; between supervisors and their supervisees; or between peers. It can happen in classrooms, in your residence hall, and in your workplace.

The UCD campus has numerous resources to help you, both confidential and formal. These pages are a portal for you to explore your options. Please contact us in person or by phone if you have any questions. The Women's Center is a confidential reporting site.
