The Board has approved a new Harassment & Discrimination Policy which was presented to the Members at the General Membership Meeting on April 8th, for review and approval.

USJ is deeply committed to upholding human rights and the prevention of violence and harassment, including sexual harassment, or discrimination. The draft policy clearly outlines unacceptable behaviors, establishes a process for reporting complaints, and creates a safe and respectful environment by demonstrating that the Co-op takes these issues seriously, thus protecting members, guests and contractors from potential harm; it also helps to comply with legal requirements and minimize the risk of lawsuits related to discrimination or harassment.
