Education and Training (draft)

An important part of OPHD’s role in overseeing nondiscrimination policy compliance is to oversee education and training programs required by UC policies or other, external laws or requirements. This oversight role relies on vital collaboration with campus partner offices that provide specialized subject-matter expertise, as well as with the University of California Office of the President. These partnerships allow us to focus our role on:

  • Ensuring content aligns with policy, regulation, and law
  • Monitoring required participation and partnering to address systemic gaps
  • Promoting ongoing collaboration among campus partners in utilizing training participation metrics and other campus data gathered to promote initiatives aimed at greater climate and culture change, as opposed to minimal civil rights compliance.

At UC San Francisco and on every other UC campus, there are required Sexual Violence Sexual Harassment (SVSH) Prevention training and education requirements for students, staff, and faculty. Program content is tailored to each audience, and educates our community about sexual misconduct, including how to prevent it, the role of intervention, and what campus resources are available.
