This policy specifically addresses sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.<\/p>\n<p>Read the Policy: <a href=\"http:\/\/hawaii.edu\/policy\/?action=viewPolicy&#038;policySection=ep&#038;policyChapter=1&#038;policyNumber=204&#038;menuView=closed\">EP 1.204 Policy and Procedural Guidelines on Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>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 <abbr title=\"nine\">IX<\/abbr> of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act of 2013.<\/p>\n<p>While this revised policy represents a firm commitment towards the safety and wellbeing of UH&#8217;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&#8217;s support and k&#333;kua in this critically important effort.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel you have been a victim of sexual violence or sexual assault, please contact your Title <abbr>IX<\/abbr> coordinator.
