Discrimination and Harassment
Overview
Sexual violence, sexual harassment, discrimination, and discriminatory harassment are all expressly prohibited by the University of California’s policies pertaining to students, academic personnel, and staff. UCLA takes sexual violence, sexual harassment, and discrimination very seriously.
If any member of the community has observed or experienced sexual violence, sexual harassment, or discrimination based upon any protected category, they can report the incident to the following resources:
Protected categories include; race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender, gender expression, gender identity, gender transition status, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, medical condition (cancer-related or genetic characteristics), genetic information (including family medical history), ancestry, marital status, age, sexual orientation, citizenship, or service in the uniformed services, including protected veterans.
➡ If you encounter or experience discrimination that involves a member of the UCLA faculty or staff, report it to the Civil Rights Office via our “Report an Incident” page.
➡ If you encounter or experience sex-/gender-based discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual violence that involves any member of the UCLA community, report it to the Title IX Office via our “Report an Incident” page.
➡ If you are a student, and encounter or experience discrimination that involves another student, report it to the Office of the Dean of Students at dean@saonet.ucla.edu.
➡ If you are a student, and encounter discrimination that involves a student group, report it to the Office of the Dean of Students at studentgroupconduct@saonet.ucla.edu.
