Responsibility of Managers and Administrative Heads

The University and all members of the University community share responsibility for ensuring that the work and study environment at the University of Manitoba is free from discrimination and harassment. Administrative Heads of Units bear the primary responsibility for maintaining a study and work environment free from discrimination and harassment.

If a complaint is brought to an administrative officer or manager, a student advocacy representative, Equity Services Advisor, or a Human Resources representative should be contacted, to receive advice and assistance with respect to the handling of the complaint. The complainant will be advised that assistance is being sought from that office. These offices will treat the matter with confidentiality (except as is required to investigate or take corrective action with respect to the complaint).

Formal complaints of harassment and discrimination under the Respectful Work and Learning Environment (RWLE) policy of the University of Manitoba can be investigated only by the Investigation Officer as referenced under the RWLE policy.
