[Students] A Message from UCR's Office of Civil Rights

[Holly Hare]

Dear Highlanders,
 
I would like to personally welcome everyone, new and returning, to a new year at wonderful UC Riverside. I am honored to serve as UCR’s Assistant Vice Chancellor of Civil Rights and Title IX Officer. This role is a tremendous privilege that allows me to work alongside our incredible students, faculty, and staff to foster a campus of consent culture, respect and belonging. 
 
At UCR, everyone deserves to learn and work in an environment free from harassment and discrimination, including sexual violence. This is an effort I cannot undertake alone. Each of you play a critical role in fostering this mission. 
 
Know that at UCR, you are surrounded by a supportive community in which you have access to network of campus resources designed to prevent and respond to discrimination and harassment. Here are some of the services we provide:
 
My office, the Office of Civil Rights (OCR),  <https://compliance.ucr.edu/office-civil-rights>is here to help individuals explore supportive measures, file a report, and understand their rights and options under both the UC Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Policy <https://policy.ucop.edu/doc/4000385/SVSH> and the UC Anti-Discrimination Policy <https://policy.ucop.edu/doc/1001004/Anti-Discrimination>.
CARE  <https://care.ucr.edu/>provides confidential advocacy and support to students, staff, and faculty impacted by sexual harassment, including sexual violence.
Confidential campus resources also include the Counseling and Psychological Services Office (CAPS) <https://counseling.ucr.edu/>and the Office of the Ombuds <https://ombuds.ucr.edu/>.
The Dean of Students Office <https://deanofstudents.ucr.edu/> is available to help students navigate university processes and connect with both campus and community resources.
 
My commitment as UCR’s Title IX Officer is to ensure that all members of our community — no matter their role on campus — have the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive and create meaningful and lasting memories during your time with us. I encourage you to reach out to ask questions and engage in conversations that build a stronger, safer UC Riverside. As we embark on this new year, I look forward to opportunities to connect, grow, and thrive together as a community. Go Highlanders!
 
I look forward to a bold and inspiring academic year ahead.
 
Warmly, 
Holly Hare, EdD
