Sexual and Other Unlawful Harassment Policy
University of the Pacific is committed to maintaining the campus community as a place of work and study for faculty, staff and students, free of sexual and other unlawful harassment. The University prohibits unlawful harassment of any member(s) of the University community. This policy is designed to provide procedures to assist the University to implement this commitment.
The University’s policies and procedures are supported by, and consistent with, federal and state law prohibiting unlawful harassment. This policy thus accepts the mandate set forth in Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, Title VII of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and California State law.
All members of the University community must comply with this policy. You may also print a copy of the 
Sexual and Other Unlawful Harassment Policy for your records.
The University will take prompt and effective corrective action in response to any complaint showing a violation of this policy. Students, faculty and staff who believe they have been the victims of harassment have access to the complaint procedures.
Student Employees
Under this policy, student employees may bring complaints against employees but not against other students, except when that student is a University work supervisor. Otherwise, complaints of students regarding harassment by other students should be presented in the manner stated in the Student-to-Student Sexual Harassment Policy, available in the Division of Student Life.
Unlawful Harassment
Harassment based on race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, color, religion, religious creed, age, marital status, cancer-related or genetic-related medical condition, disability, citizenship status, military service status, or any other status protected by federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation is prohibited by University policy. Prohibited harassment in any form, including verbal and physical conduct, visual displays, threats, demands and retaliation is a violation of this policy and will not be tolerated.
