Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Policy

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy educational and work environment in which no member of the FAS community is, on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity, excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in any University program or activity. In order to protect the access of all members of our community to the full range of opportunities and resources provided at Harvard, the FAS has adopted the following Interim FAS Policies and Procedures Addressing Title IX Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment and Other Misconduct.

For conduct occurring between September 1, 2014, and August 14, 2020, review the Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Policy and Procedures for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

Office for Gender Equity

The Office for Gender Equity (OGE) empowers and supports the Harvard community to advance a climate of gender equity and inclusion through evidence-based educational initiatives, excellence in research and practice, and delivery of direct services.

Office for Dispute Resolution

The Office for Dispute Resolution (ODR) is a neutral body that impartially investigates complaints of sexual harassment and/or other sexual misconduct against students, staff, and, in most Schools, faculty. ODR investigations are handled by professional investigators working with the involved Schools and units. Any member of the Harvard community may reach out to ODR to request information or advice, including assistance in filing a formal complaint or in seeking informal resolution after a complaint has been filed.
