CUPE951 News for June 21st

“The University of Victoria is developing a new policy on preventing and responding to sexualized violence in its 

commitment to provide students, faculty and staff with a safe, supportive and respectful environment to live, work and learn.

While UVic has policies, programs and resources that include education and prevention, support for survivors and those who have experienced sexualized violence, and investigation of sexualized violence, it does not have a single encompassing policy.

This initiative will strengthen UVic’s current approach through a review of the university’s own policies and procedures, widespread consultation and by considering best practices and policies at other institutions.”
