Confidentiality
Any personally identifiable information that is obtained in connection with this study will be stored on a secured server and remain confidential. Please be assured that except to allow for the matching with your academic records, your identity will not be connected to your survey responses, your responses will be confidential, and the results of the study will be reported only as aggregate data. The data may also be used at an aggregate data level for academic research purposes after obtaining the appropriate IRB approval.

To ensure survey data sharing security, Institutional Research and Academic Planning (IRAP) at University of California Office of the President have taken additional steps to de-identify survey data, remove identifiable information, and separate demographic data from the main response data file. IRAP will take several additional steps to further protect survey data and improve data security.
Please keep in mind that University policy requires all reports of sexual harassment and sexual violence against students to be forwarded to the Title IX office (https://www.sexualharassment.ucla.edu/). Students who disclose that they experienced sexual harassment or sexual violence while students may be contacted by the Title IX office with information about reporting options and support services available to them. Please note that the responses to the survey may not be reviewed immediately. If any of your responses concern matters in need of immediate action or disclose dangerous situations, you should immediately report those matters to the appropriate authorities.
