OFFICE
OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT/TITLE IX COMPLIANCE
The Office of Equal Opportunity and Sexual Harassment/Title IX Compliance
(OEOSH/TC) addresses questions and concerns regarding equal employment
opportunity and affirmative action in employment and provides assistance in
resolving and investigating complaints of sexual harassment and gender
discrimination at UCSB. The Office is also responsible for developing and
maintaining an Affirmative Action Program (AAP) for campus employees. As a
federal contractor, UCSB is required to have an AAP. An Affirmative Action
Program for Individuals with Disabilities and Covered Veterans is also included
in the AAP.
Major OEOSH/TC responsibilities are:
1. the development, implementation, and maintenance of the AAP, to ensure compliance with existing governmental and university regulations.
2. advising faculty, administrators, and staff on:
a. current federal and
state laws and related regulations on Affirmative Action. Also advising how the
Campus may best be in compliance with these
governmental requirements.
b. recruitments of applicants; training, promotion,
and retention of employees to achieve racial and gender diversity, as required
by the AAP. Also working with other UC campuses, state and
local communities to promote affirmative action objectives.
3. monitoring campus progress and preparing reports on employee affirmative action. Maintaining statistics on labor force, employee work force, training, recruitment, promotion, separation, with breakdown by gender and ethnicity for reporting purposes.
4. working with faculty, managers, supervisors, and staff employees, as necessary, to mediate grievances based upon alleged violation of affirmative action policies contained in the AAPP.
5. advocating, supporting campus activities which promote diversity, women's issues, minority issues, cultural awareness, career development, and other issues covered by the AAP.
6. responding and investigating, when necessary, to concerns in
a fair and responsible manner in order to stop the offensive, unwelcome or
problematic behavior. We also assist in educating the UCSB community about
sexual harassment and gender equity issues in the hope of preventing
inappropriate and unwelcome sexual and/or gender-related conduct. The
University strongly prohibits any form of sexual harassment and sexual
misconduct.
The
University is committed to maintaining an academic and workplace environment in
which all members and visitors of the University campus are treated with
civility, dignity, and respect.
The Office of Equal Opportunity and Sexual Harassment/Title IX Compliance reports to the Executive Vice Chancellor.
