University of Ghana Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Policy

Abstract

The University of Ghana is committed to creating and maintaining a community in which all persons who participate in the University's programmes and activities do so in an environment free from intimidation, exploitation and abuse. The University seeks to provide an atmosphere of work and study in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. To achieve this objective, the University has adopted this policy on sexual harassment and misconduct which is intended to guide the University of Ghana community. The policy defines prohibited conduct, outlines the procedures for reporting violations, conduct of investigations, sanctions, non-retaliatory mechanisms and establishes the Anti-sexual harassment committee.
