Sexual Harassment

The University of California forbids acts of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is a form of illegal sex discrimination. Harassment occurs when unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical contact of a sexual nature: 1) is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's educational status or employment; 2) has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's educational or work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive educational or working environment; 3) is used as the basis for employment or academic decisions affecting the individual regardless of submission to or rejection of such conduct.

Any individual who believes that he or she has been sexually harassed should contact the Registrar at UC Irvine Extension, (949) 824-5191 regarding complaint resolution or grievance procedures.
