Harassment and Discrimination: Policies and Procedures in Australian Universities
A CAPA research project In 2003 led to the development of a white paper on existing harassment and discrimination prevention and resolution polices in individual Universities.
Policies at 27 universities were reviewed for this study. The website of each CAPA-affiliate's university was visited, and harassment and discrimination policies of those with on-line and reasonably locatable policies were down-loaded. It is likely that some policies were not included. This study is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to overview examples of practices currently in place.
