The University of Chicago prohibits sexual harassment. The University cannot thrive unless each member is accepted as an autonomous individual and is treated civilly, without particular regard to his or her sex or any other factor (such as national origin, age, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or veteran status) that is irrelevant to participation in the life of the University. The University is committed to maintaining an environment in which its students, faculty, and staff can work together freely to further education and research.

Members of the University community who may have been subjected to or have concerns related to sexual harassment in the University can, without fear of reprisal, discuss their situations with any of the officials named in this pamphlet, who will promptly offer advice and help.

The University’s Policy on Unlawful Discrimination and Harassment and a description of formal and informal procedures for addressing unlawful harassment, including sexual harassment, are in the Student Manual of University Policies and Regulations and A Guide to the University for Faculty and Other Academic Personnel. The full text of the policy can be found at www.uchicago.edu/docs/policies/provostoffice/unlawdiscrimharass2006.pdf or by calling the Associate Provost at 773-702-5671.

Even though you may not be experiencing sexual harassment, it is important to know about it.
