Bias Response is taken extremely seriously by Unit to Combat Violence Against Women {UCVAW} which developed not only or women but also or men.

The Unit to Combat Violence Against Women Equal Opportunities Policy must be approved by the CU council, which is the governing body's primary means of ensuring that the university's equal opportunity policy is followed and that staff and students have the same opportunities. The responsibility for creating, overseeing, assessing, and reevaluating the university's equal opportunities policy falls on UCVAW. Coordination of the implementation of this policy for staff as well as the creation, upkeep, and oversight of assistance processes are within the purview of the Office of the Vice President for Community Members. The heads of schools and units are in charge of carrying out this equal opportunities policy with regard to their personnel and pupils.  The university aims to give all employees and committee members the proper equality and diversity training. The heads of schools and units, senior employees, line managers, and supervisors who are specifically in charge of carrying out this equity policy are the target audience for training and development programs. According to the university, every employee has a right to work in a harassment- and sexual-free environment, and every student has a right to a harassment- and sexual-free environment in which to learn.

The University encourages the promotion of a working, learning and social environment where all staff work positively and harmoniously together. The University believes that the work environment should give all employees the freedom to do their work without having to suffer bullying or intimidation from any member of staff, colleague or group of colleagues, student or group of students.

Students

CU acknowledges and upholds the fundamental right to equality of treatment in the educational setting. CU therefore commits to using its best efforts to design and carry out policies that will guarantee that no student or prospective student will be treated less favourably than any other on the grounds of age (subject to University regulations regarding matriculation and minimum age of entry), race, gender, civil status, family status, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or membership in the Traveler community.  In order to allow every student to fully engage in university life, CU works to provide the necessary resources. The University reserves the right to take affirmative action to further student equality of opportunity as it sees fit, subject to the restrictions outlined in our equal opportunities policy. All courses and programs will choose students based on actual course-related criteria. Mainly, number and gender of students determined by the Coordination Office for Admission to Universities and Institutes
