Policies and Procedures
Harvard instituted a University-wide Title IX policy, the University Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Policy, which was effective at the start of the 2014-2015 academic year. This policy applies to all members of the Harvard community. Notice of Non-Discrimination
HGSE Students
HGSE adopted the University-wide Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Policy (90KB pdf) (“University Policy”) and incorporated the University’s Procedures for Handling Complaints Involving Students Pursuant to the [University’s] Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Policy (“University Procedures”), including for purposes of student discipline.

The university-wide Sexual/Gender-Based Harassment Complaint Procedures Against Staff are now effective. For complaints against staff only, these procedures supersede the Interim Harvard Law School Sexual Harassment Policy and Procedures.
