Direction offered for students to report violations
A recently revised sexual harassment policy has been established to benefit everyone in the UA community - especially students who may not know where or how to file a complaint.
The sexual harassment policy is administered by the Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Office and has been revised three time since its original adoption in December 1982.
The policy begins, "The University of Arizona prohibits unlawful discrimination, including harassment, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability veteran's status, or sexual orientation."
Janie Nunez, associate vice president at the Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action office, said the new policy clarifies where incidents should be reported if both parties are students.
The previous policy stated that incidents of sexual harassment should be reported to the Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action office, but now if the complaint involves only students, they should be reported through the Dean of Students office.
