Message from President David W. Leebron

Dear Colleague:

Rice University is committed to a working and learning environment defined by civility and mutual respect. We strive to maintain a campus climate that does not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment, including sexual harassment.

The Office of Equal Employment Opportunity Programs/Affirmative Action is making available to all faculty, staff, and students an educational program called "Preventing Sexual Harassment." This comprehensive online tool reviews the current law on sexual harassment and Rice's policies and procedures for reporting sexual harassment. Although this training focuses primarily on sexual harassment, the principles it teaches can be applied to all forms of harassment.

As a university community, we must remain committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all of our members. Thank you for taking the time to participate in this program.

Sincerely,

David W. Leebron
President, Rice University
