It is the policy of The University College of the Cariboo that all employees and students have a right to work and study in an environment that asserts and supports their fundamental rights, personal worth and human dignity. Under the B.C. Human Rights Act, every person has the right to freedom from harassment, and The University College of the Cariboo acknowledges its responsibility in protecting this freedom. The University College of the Cariboo will not tolerate harassment in any form, and considers it to be a serious offence subject to a range of disciplinary measures.
If students, faculty or staff perceive that they have been subjected to harassment they may wish to discuss their concerns and/or file a complaint with Mary Harber, local 5188 (OM2782), Harassment Advisor. It is within UCC jurisdiction to investigate allegations of harassment by members of the University College community (i.e. students, faculty, staff). Copies of the UCC Harassment Prevention Policy are available upon request of the Department Chair, Divisional Dean, Office of Student Affairs, the Student Society office and the Harassment Advisor.
Physical assault is a criminal offence and should be reported to the R.C.M.P.
