“Underlying UCLA’s educational goals are basic values that everyone at the University must respect if the goals are to be accomplished and UCLA is to function as a community of learners. These goals include: intellectual honesty; mutual respect regarding the individual’s right to freedom of thought, belief and expression; freedom of inquiry; freedom from discrimination on the basis of any arbitrary or personal reasons; and the abhorrence of intimidation, harassment, disruption or violence aimed at limiting these freedoms or interfering with a student, faculty or staff member’s performance of his or her University activities” (Undergraduate Education at UCLA, 1988).

In particular, students are expected to abide by specific campus regulations (found in the Office of the Dean of Students, the Office of Residential Life, the Center for Student Programming and other Student Affairs offices). Violations may result in sanctions ranging from a written warning to Dismissal from UCLA, and may include mandatory community service work and participation in educational programs.

1. Sexual intercourse against a person’s will accomplished by force or threats of bodily injury.

2. Sexual intercourse against a person’s will where the person has reasonable fear that she (or he) or another will be injured if she (or he) does not submit to the intercourse.

3. Sexual intercourse where the person is incapable of giving consent, or is prevented from resisting, due to alcohol or drugs, and this condition was known, or reasonably should have been known, by the accused.

4. Sexual intercourse where the person is incapable of resisting because she (or he), at the time, is unconscious or asleep, and this is known to the accused. Sexual assault: The act of sexual assault includes: forced sodomy (anal intercourse); forced oral copulation (oral-genital contact); rape by foreign object (forced penetration by a foreign object, including a finger); and sexual battery (the unwanted touching of an intimate part of another person for the purpose of sexual arousal). These also include situations when the accused sexually assaults a complainant incapable of giving consent, including where the complainant is prevented from resisiting due to alcohol or drugs and this condition was known, or reasonably should have been known, by the accused.

NOTE: For the purpose of this regulation, students should understand that:

1. Forced intercourse, or other unwanted sexual contact, is defined as rape or sexual assault whether the assailant is a stranger or an acquaintance of the complainant.

2. Intoxication of the assailant shall not diminish the assailant’s responsibility for sexual assault.

102.09: Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment, as defined in the University of California Policy Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations, and Students (see Section 160.00), reads in part:

Sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicity affects a person’s employment or education, unreasonabley interferes with a person’s work or educational performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or learning environment. In the interest of preventing sexual harassment, the University will respond to reports of any such conduct.

Please refer to the Policy on Sexual Harassment and Complaint Resolution Procedures (see Section 160.00) for the entire definition. The Policy on Sexual Harassment and Complaint Resolution Procedures is incorporated into the Policy on Student Conduct and Discipline.
