Proposed Revisions to Systemwide Academic Personnel Policies

The University invites comments on proposed revisions to the University of California Policy on Sexual Harassment and Academic Personnel Manual Section 035, (APM - 035), Appendices A-1 and A-2, as described below:

The proposal implements policy requirements mandated by the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA 2013) to include within UC policy several provisions addressing domestic and sexual violence. The UC Policy on Sexual Harassment is a systemwide, Presidential policy that applies to all University employees, including all faculty and other academic appointees, student employees, and staff.
