The University of California, Santa Cruz has a tradition of informality and tolerance. It is necessary, however to emphasize that lewd or sexually offensive conduct, including indecent exposure and public nudity, is not permitted in any public area on the Santa Cruz campus (this conduct may also constitute a violation of criminal law).

This policy applies to all public areas of the campus and to all persons, including students, employees, and visitors (except for babies and young children). This prohibition does not apply to appropriate visual or performing arts productions, academic programs, or classes scheduled or sponsored by campus unit heads or departments of study.

Complaints should be brought to the attention of the University Police Department (459-2231), the Title IX/Sexual Harassment Office (459-2462), or the director of Student Judicial Affairs (459-1738).
