Title IX/Sexual Harassment Office

Title IX/Sexual Harassment Office

The Title IX/Sexual Harassment Office (Title IX/SHO) serves all members of the University community, including students, faculty and other academic personnel, staff employees, non-students or non-employee participants in University programs.  The Title IX/Sexual Harassment Office provides assistance in resolving and investigating complaints of sex discrimination and sexual harassment (including sexual assault).  The Title IX/SHO has the responsibility of providing a prompt and effective response to reports of sex discrimination or sexual harassment in accordance with the University policies and procedures.  The University does not tolerate sex discrimination or sexual harassment of any kind.  Such conduct is prohibited both by law and by University policies.

The Title IX/Sexual Harassment Office seeks to eliminate sex discrimination and sexual harassment by educating the University community, including supervisors and faculty members about what constitutes sex discrimination and sexual harassment, how to prevent it and how to report it.  The materials posted on this website will help UCR members and visitors of the campus community obtain information with respect to discrimination and harassment, but not limited to, where to go for help, on-campus and off-campus resources, mandatory training for supervisors, and how to respond to reported incidents of sexual assault involving a student, faculty or employee.

Any member or visitor of the University community, who have questions or concerns about sex discrimination or sexual harassment, is strongly encouraged to contact the Title IX/Sexual Harassment Office at (951) 827-7070 or any campus administrator.  Likewise, any member or visitor of the University community who experiences sexual assault, including rape, is strongly encouraged to report his/her incident to the UCR Police Department at 911 or (951) 827-5222, or the Title IX/Sexual Harassment Office at (951) 827-7070, or any campus administrator.
