Abusive Conduct Policy and Required Training
As
part of University of California’s (UC) ongoing commitment to creating a
safe and healthy working environment, and in support of the five anchors of UC San Diego’s People Proposition, UC has launched a required system-wide training onAbusive Conduct in the Workplace in alignment with President Michael Drake’s policy effective January of 2023. This policy is applicable to all UC San Diego employees, including staff, academics, and health.
In
his letter issuing the policy, President Michael V. Drake, M.D., explains why it represents a critical step in advancing his priorities for UC. “Abusive conduct compromises the vital mission of the university
to educate students and serve the residents of California by interfering with an individual’s participation in or benefit from instructional, research, employment, or other programs sponsored by the university. Abusive conduct also undermines the university’s ability to achieve inclusive excellence. It is therefore essential that all members
of the university community understand the risk that abusive conduct poses to the university’s ability to thrive as an institution.”
As
a member of the UC community, you are required to complete the online UC Abusive Conduct in the Workplace course through UC Learning Center within 100 days of receiving the assignment. This training covers your rights and responsibilities with respect to the Abusive Conduct in the Workplace policy, and should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. If you are unable to complete the training in one session, you can save your place and complete it at a later time.
We
hope no one on this campus is ever subject to abusive behavior, and thank you for your part in ensuring that UC San Diego is a safe and healthy environment for everyone.
Health Sciences and Health System staff and MSP Physicians can submit a request on the Health Human Resources website, or call 619-543-3200, and select option 5.
