Aloha University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> ʻOhana<\/span>,<\/p>\n

A major policy update this week reaffirms UH<\/abbr>’s commitment to ensuring a safe environment across all campuses and having zero tolerance for gender violence and harassment. This policy specifically addresses sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.<\/p>\n

Read the Policy: EP 1.204 Policy and Procedural Guidelines on Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking<\/a> <\/p>\n

The policy provides guidance on compliance with the complex and inter-related requirements of sex discrimination and sexual violence laws that cover students, employees and third parties including both on-campus and off-campus situations. More specifically, it incorporates the requirements and spirit of the Title IX<\/abbr> of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act of 2013.<\/p>\n

While this revised policy represents a firm commitment towards the safety and wellbeing of UH’s students, faculty, staff and visitors; the real work lies ahead to change campus climates and behaviors through a series of outreach and awareness efforts and victim support programs. We ask for everyone’s support and kōkua in this critically important effort.<\/p>\n

If you feel you have been a victim of sexual violence or sexual assault, please contact your Title IX<\/abbr> coordinator. The list can be found at www.hawaii.edu\/offices\/eeo\/titleix.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all of those who have contributed to this significant policy update.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

David Lassner, UH<\/abbr> President
