UC Presidential Policy on Abusive Conduct in the Workplace

The Presidential Policy on Abusive Conduct in the Workplace prohibits abusive conduct and retaliation by and against members of the University community in the workplace. The Policy also prohibits retaliation against any person who, in good faith, reports abusive conduct, assists someone with a report of abusive conduct, or participates in an investigation or other process under the Policy. The University will respond to reports of Abusive Conduct in accordance with timelines set forth in this policy, and will take appropriate action to stop, prevent, correct, and discipline behavior that violates this policy.

UC ANR Employee and Labor Relations will intake complaints of abusive conduct through the following email: anr_abusive_conduct@ucdavis.edu . For additional information on the UC ANR Abusive Conduct procedures and common examples of what is considered abusive conduct, please review the UC ANR Abusive Conduct page.    

In addition, for confidential support if abusive conduct has been experienced, the following offices are good places to start:

• Ombuds Office – The Ombuds Office is a confidential, independent, impartial, and informal problem-solving and conflict management resource for all members of the UC Davis, UC Davis Health and UC ANR communities.
• Academic and Staff Assistance Program (ASAP) - The Academic and Staff Assistance Program offers confidential, cost-free assessment, intervention, consultation and referral services to all UC ANR employees and their immediate families.
• Center for Advocacy, Resources & Education (CARE) – If you or someone close to you has experienced sexual harassment or any form of sexual violence, CARE advocates are able to provide confidential help with processing emotions, going over reporting options, resource referral and more.
• Confidential Whistleblower Reports and Complaints – UC ANR provides several straightforward and uncomplicated ways by which UC ANR employees can anonymously and confidentially.
