December 15, 2020 — Every university member has the right to a respectful work and learning environment, free from all forms of sexual violence – including sexual harassment and assault. Recent updates to the Sexual Violence and Respectful Work and Learning Environment (RWLE) policies more clearly outline the process for responding to prohibited conduct across the university while also clarifying the rights and responsibilities of community members. The biggest change to the policies is that the Sexual Violence Policy (formerly the Sexual Assault Policy) now addresses all forms of sexual violence, including sexual harassment and sexual assault. Previously sexual harassment was addressed under the RWLE Policy. Additionally, the RWLE and Sexual Assault Procedure has been renamed the Disclosures and Complaints Procedure. It is the procedure for both the RWLE and Sexual Violence policies.
