The revised Sexual Misconduct Policy takes effect today, October 1, 2018.
You can read the updated Sexual Misconduct Policy on the CU System website.
The changes to the Sexual Misconduct Policy have helped align the processes across all four CU campuses and clarified key areas regarding due process and adjudication jurisdiction and mandatory reporting.
Primary areas where these changes have occurred include:
- Explaining the role of specialized campus offices, such as the Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance (OIEC) at CU Boulder, that resolve complaints and ensure procedural due process and equity for all parties
- Adding language on “jurisdiction” factors for determining when and if a case will be taken up for investigation and resolution
- Describing the goals and purpose of the obligation to report for “responsible employees” and the criteria for adjudicating “failure to report” allegations
CU Boulder will now require all employees (faculty, staff, and student staff) and affiliates to complete the required OIEC training on Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct every three years after initial completion when new to the Boulder campus (rather than the previous five-year requirement).
Employees can review their training record on MyCUInfo and determine when they last completed the training. OIEC also directly emails anyone who is not up-to-date with the training requirement.
If you have any questions about these changes or the new training requirements, please contact OIEC at 303-492-2127 or oiec@colorado.edu.
