A number of principles, policies and procedures govern how UC Davis does business, treats individuals and asks its community to behave respectfully.

## Principles of Community

The [Principles of Community](https://diversity.ucdavis.edu/principles-community), first written in 1990, are designed to promote inclusiveness and respect in the work and learning environment at UC Davis. Leadership representing our administration, faculty, staff and students has reaffirmed — and improved upon —these values over the years.

## Policies and procedures

[UC Davis also follows Title IX](https://compliance.ucdavis.edu/title-ix), a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity.

In addition, the university is committed to [protecting personal privacy and information](https://www.ucdavis.edu/help/privacy-accessibility) collected from its departmental and official Web pages.

Beyond these protocols, the [UC Davis Policy and Procedure Manual](http://manuals.ucdavis.edu/PPM/about.htm) (PPM) is issued by the Administrative Policy Office and is the official source for UC Davis policies and implementing procedures. Policies apply to all units under the jurisdiction of UC Davis — whether located in Davis, in Sacramento, or at off-site locations — unless otherwise noted.

## A Culture of Safety

UC Davis values the well-being of its students, faculty, staff and visitors. Our ultimate goal is to provide a safe environment for the entire community. Our [Principles of Safety](https://safetyservices.ucdavis.edu/about) promote best practices and a responsive approach to protect people, facilities and resources.
