Support Centers for Students, Faculty and Staff

USC offers several support centers to help students, faculty and staff navigate difficult times. They are available for members of the university seeking help for themselves, as well as where members can request help for others who need support.

Understanding Free Speech and Academic Freedom

USC has long had established policies protecting the free speech rights and academic freedom of faculty and students. In both policy and practice, when USC faculty speak or write as citizens, they are free of institutional censorship or discipline. And academic freedom at USC protects all faculty. We vigorously defend these principles for faculty of every status and type of appointment.

ONE USC Safety

The ONE USC Safety Vision imagines a USC where everyone feels safe, respected and protected from crime, while recognizing that this can be achieved only by addressing the diverse experiences and needs of all USC students, faculty, staff and neighbors.
