UCSC Policies and Procedures

UCSC Policy on Sexual Assault and UC Policy on Sexual Harassment

Appendix II: University Disciplinary Procedures

Applicable disciplinary action procedures if a report of sexual harassment results in a recommendation for disciplinary action:

A. The Faculty Code of Conduct (APM - 015) and the University Policy on Faculty Conduct and the Administration of Discipline (APM - 016), as approved by the Assembly of the Academic Senate and by The Regents, outline ethical and professional standards which University faculty are expected to observe. It also identifies various forms of unacceptable behavior which are applicable in cases of sexual harassment and outlines sanctions and disciplinary procedures. Because the forms of unacceptable behavior listed in the Faculty Code of Conduct are interpreted to apply to sexual harassment, a violation of the University's Policy on Sexual Harassment constitutes a violation of the Faculty Code of Conduct.

B. Provisions of Non-Senate Academic Appointees/Corrective Action and Dismissal
(APM - 150) (applicable to non-exclusively represented academic appointees) and collective bargaining agreements (applicable to exclusively represented academic appointees) provide for corrective action or dismissal for conduct which violates University policy.

C. Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations, and Students sets forth in
Section 100.00 the types of student misconduct that are subject to discipline and the types of disciplinary actions that may be imposed for violation of University policies or campus regulations.

D. Provisions of the Personnel Policies for Staff Members and the DOE Laboratories personnel policies (applicable to non-exclusively represented staff employees) and collective bargaining agreements (applicable to exclusively represented staff employees) prohibit conduct which violates University policy with respect to sexual harassment and provide for disciplinary action for violation of University policy.
