Learning and working environment

There are a number of resources for creating equitable and inclusive classroom, research, and working environments.

Conflict resolution

Resources are available to staff, faculty and academic appointees, postdocs, and students to assist and consult with managing conflict. Resources are also available for those who need assistance with a conflict or dispute between a landlord and a tenant.

Relationships that may cross professional boundaries (consensual relationships)

Reporting options and support are available to faculty, staff, and students concerned about personal relationships that may cross professional boundaries and/or create a conflict of interest that is prohibited by university policy.

Misuse & conflicts of interest (University resources)

All staff, faculty and academic appointees, postdocs, students, and non-affiliates may report unethical or improper conduct related to the University, such as conflict of interest or the misuse of University resources.

Cyber/information security incident

Cyber/information security incidents include computer system breaches; unauthorized access to, changes to, or use of systems, software, or data; loss or theft of equipment storing institutional data; a denial of service attack; ransomware.

Grievances & equity concerns (employment)

An employee may file a grievance if they believe the terms and conditions of their employment, or their rights as an employee, have been violated.

Grade disputes

Students may dispute or appeal a grade they received. Resources are also available for instructors.

Extracurricular support

Many students find fulfillment and a sense of belonging while participating in extracurricular activities. Extracurricular activities can also help students with their academic and career goals. This page points to several campus directories of organizations students can join. Some are specific to graduate students, and others to undergraduate students.

Compliance training concerns

All UC Berkeley students, staff, faculty, postdocs, and other academic appointees are required to complete training on certain important topics. If you have questions about the compliance training you were assigned, this page can help you find help.

Family-responsive policies (leave, benefits, accommodations)

The campus has a number of family-responsive policies and resources for parents and caregivers, whether you are a student, staff, or academic appointee.
