SUBJECT: Protected Class Discrimination and Harassment: Policies and Training Information
I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the importance
of the University of Colorado Boulder Discrimination and Harassment Policy and
the University of Colorado Sexual Harassment Policy and Procedures.
In order to create a positive learning, working and living environment, the
University of Colorado Boulder is committed to providing an atmosphere free of
discrimination and harassment based upon race, color, national origin, sex,
pregnancy, age, disability, religion, creed, sexual orientation, gender
identity, gender expression and veteran status. In an effort to create such an
environment, University of Colorado 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://hr.colorado.edu/dh/Pages/Training.aspx. 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://hr.colorado.edu/dh/policyinfo/.
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 training coordinator at 303-492-2797.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in helping to create a welcoming
environment and respectful climate for everyone in our campus community.
Philip P. DiStefano, Chancellor
University of Colorado Boulder
