Reporting Intolerance
UC strives for a campus and a world free of discrimination, intolerance and hate. If you experience or observe behavior that is inconsistent with our Principles of Community and Principles Against Intolerance, please report it using UC's systemwide intolerance report form.
UC Incident Reporting Form for Harassment and Discrimination
All forms of hate are unacceptable at UC locations and in our programs and activities. UC expects members of our community to fully adhere to policies and laws. Our campuses have robust reporting and investigation processes in place, and impacted individuals may access supportive measures even if they do not file a complaint or request an investigation.
