SUBJECT: Protected Class Discrimination and Harassment: Policies and Training Information
I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the
University of Colorado at Boulder Discrimination and Harassment Policy and
the University of Colorado Sexual Harassment Policy and Procedures, and
their importance.
In order to create a positive learning, working and living environment, the
University is committed to providing an atmosphere free of discrimination
and harassment based upon race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion,
creed, sexual orientation, disability, and veteran status. In an effort to
create such an environment, University of Colorado at Boulder staff and
student employees are required to complete discrimination and harassment
training within their first 30 days of employment. All CU-Boulder faculty
members must complete discrimination and harassment training within their
first semester of employment. Faculty, staff, and student employees can
complete an online discrimination and harassment training to fulfill this
requirement. You can obtain instructions for how to access the online
training from the Office of Discrimination and Harassment website:
http://www.colorado.edu/odh . After this initial training, all employees
are required to take a discrimination and harassment training at least once
every five years; however, some departments require employees to complete
training more frequently, which I applaud.
Please review the protected class discrimination and harassment and sexual
harassment policies and procedures at
http://www.colorado.edu/odh/policies.html . All CU-Boulder employees are
expected to adhere to these policies and procedures, including the
supervisory obligation to report allegations of discrimination and
harassment to the Office of Discrimination and Harassment or the Office of
Student Conduct. If you have any questions regarding discrimination and
harassment, the training program or would like to arrange an on-site
training session for your department, please contact the Office of
Discrimination and Harassment at 303-492-2127.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in helping to create a
welcoming environment and respectful climate for everyone in our community.
