Description

Sexual harassment and sexual violence against university students is an issue of critical importance and prohibited by law. This report examined sexual harassment and sexual violence at four universities: the University of California, Berkeley; the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA); California State University, Chico; and San Diego State University. It concludes that the universities do not ensure that all faculty and staff are sufficiently trained on responding to and reporting student incidents of sexual harassment and sexual violence. None of the four universities consistently complied with requirements in state law for distribution of policites to inform students and university employees of how to appropriately respond to and handle incidents. Further, they did not post their policies in certain prominent locations on campus where they might be seen by large numbers of students, such as university housing and athletic facilities. All four universities have an adequate overall process for responding to incidents of sexual harassment and sexual violence; however, they need to improve these processes in some key areas. This report also makes other recommendations. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
