The Office for the Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination (OPHD) oversees campus compliance with policies that prohibit discrimination and harassment for students, faculty, and staff, including those based on sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, disability, religion, and other protected categories.
OPHD is also the Title IX Office for UC Berkeley. Allegations of sexual violence, sexual harassment, and other conduct prohibited under the UC SVSH Policy may (and in the case of Responsible Employees, must) be reported to OPHD, whose highly trained complaint resolution officers conduct initial assessment, informal resolution, or formal investigation of complaints.
