Allegations of sexual harassment, stalking and sexual assault have increased at UC Berkeley compared to last year, according to campus’s 2025 Civil Rights Report.
From fiscal year 2024 to fiscal year 2025, sexual harassment reports increased by 45.3%, sexual assault reports by 26.1% and overall sexual violence and sexual harassment reports by 28.3%. The report notes that this rise in reporting may reflect a shift in the number of incidents or a change in awareness or access to reporting.
According to Sharon Inkelas, the faculty advisor to the chancellor on compliance and community, campus believes that SVSH reports have been increasing over the past five years due to “continuing efforts” for support from the Office for the Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination and community awareness on reporting resources.
