Statement of Commitment. The University promotes teaching, scholarship and research and the free and critical discussion of ideas. Unions and employers are committed to providing a working and learning environment that allows for full and free participation of all members of the University community.

Harassment is a serious offence that may be cause for disciplinary sanctions including, where appropriate, dismissal or expulsion. The University has a responsibility under the BC Human Rights Code to prevent harassment and to provide procedures to handle complaints, to resolve problems and to remedy situations where harassment occurs. The University will offer educational and training programs designed to prevent harassment and to support the administration of the University policies and to ensure that all members of the University community are aware of their responsibility with respect to the policy. The Union and the University agree that attendance is required and will take place during compensated work time.
