    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.
