UC Davis will join a new partner network to the National Academies’ Action Collaborative on Preventing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education. UC Davis is among thirteen higher education-focused organizations in the inaugural group of network partners, which will share their work to prevent and address sexual harassment in higher education.

“We’re pleased to participate in the Action Collaborative Partner Network,” said Wendi Delmendo, chief compliance officer for UC Davis, who will represent the campus in the network. “We are hoping to enhance our already strong sexual harassment prevention program by learning from the best practices of other institutions both within and outside of UC.”
Emory University is one of 13 organizations that has joined the partner network as an inaugural group.
“We recognize that historically male-dominated and hierarchical environments such as academia, including medicine, can be fertile ground for sexual harassing behaviors,” says Carolyn Meltzer, MD, who is the chief diversity and inclusion officer at Emory’s School of Medicine and the university’s representative in the partner network. “My colleagues and I at Emory look forward to continuing our work on mitigating systemic gender bias and inequity as a member institution of the partner network, and filtering those efforts to a local level in Atlanta.”
