Pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the Florida Educational Equity Act and in conformance with our policy of Equal Opportunity, it is the goal of the University of South Florida to create and maintain a work and study environment that is positive and free of discrimination. In order to help provide such an environment, faculty, staff and students must be aware that sexual harassment is sex discrimination.
Sexual harassment is a serious form of abuse.
It is prohibited for any administrator, supervisor, or other employee of USF to take any retaliatory action against an individual who, in good faith, has made a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under provisions of applicable law. Disciplinary actions could range from oral reprimand to dismissal from the University. The Office of Equal Opportunity Affairs is committed to assisting you with the resolution of your complaint.
