This policy applies to all members of the University community including individuals employed directly or indirectly at the University, students and visitors. This policy applies to incidents of violence that occur on University premises and other work sites under the University's control, or during the course of any University sponsored event. In exceptional circumstances, complaints may be made regarding an alleged incident that occurs away from the University and not during a University sponsored event, if the consequences of the incident have a direct impact on the complainant's course of work or study, or if the incident has a substantial connection with the University. The University recommends that agencies affiliated with it, or located within its perimeters, also follow this policy.
The University of Saskatchewan strives to ensure the safety of all members of the University community. It values the well being of all persons utilizing its premises and working within its community. The University through this policy strives to minimize the risk of violence, facilitate prompt action, and provide support to victims of violence.
