Discrimination and harassment
We support all members of the UVic community who have experienced discrimination and harassment or have questions or concerns.
About UVic’s discrimination and harassment policy
UVic strives to prevent discrimination and harassment from taking place, and to act upon complaints of such behaviour promptly, fairly, judiciously and with due regard to confidentiality for all parties concerned.
Under the discrimination and harassment policy, UVic recognizes that education about human rights and the development of work and learning cultures that value diversity and inclusion and foster respect are key to preventing discrimination and harassment.
The policy addresses several areas of discrimination and harassment:
- Prohibited grounds of discrimination set out in the British Columbia Human Rights Code
- Sexual harassment
- Personal harassment
- Workplace bullying and harassment for employees
