Non-Discrimination and Anti-Bullying Policies

Harvard University is committed to providing an environment where each of us can participate fully in the life of the University, whether we are studying, teaching, conducting research, or working in other ways. The full Non-Discrimination and Anti-Bullying Policies, which became effective September 1, 2023, are available on the Provost’s Office website. Please note both policies follow the same procedures outlined in the document.

The FAS has fully adopted the University’s policies and procedures on non-discrimination and anti-bullying. In addition, the FAS has updated its existing local conduct policies and procedures based on the recommendations from the FAS Committee to Review Conduct Policies and Procedures (CRCPP) and in alignment with the University’s new policies and procedures. The FAS policies can be found on the new Non-Discrimination, Anti-Bullying, and Other Conduct Policies website.

Local Designated Resources (LDRs) serve as a resource for receiving reports and complaints, directing community members to resources, and providing information on supportive measures. Additional information and updates will be provided on the new Office for Community Conduct’s website.  An introductory course via Harvard Training Portal is now available.
