Gender-Based Misconduct

Columbia University is committed to fostering an environment that is free from gender-based discrimination and harassment, including sexual assault and all other forms of gender-based misconduct. University employees (faculty and staff) have a responsibility under federal law and University policy to immediately report gender-based misconduct involving undergraduate and graduate students. As part of the hiring process, you're required to take an online training course explaining these responsibilities; be on the lookout for information on this training via your Columbia email address that the provost's office will send with a link to the training site.

This page is meant only to summarize the university's policy on gender-based misconduct, and the seriousness with which we view this.  A quick reference to the reporting requirements as well as links to the reporting form is available via the button on the top right. 

The full university policy on gender-based discrimination and harassment can be found here.
