Policy Purpose
The University of Southern California (“USC” or “University”) is committed to providing safe environments and meaningful experiences for Minors participating in University-run or -affiliated activities, programs, and events, both on and off campus, and in a manner that aligns with our Unifying Values of Integrity; Excellence; Community; Well-being; Open Communication; and Accountability. To uphold this commitment and comply with applicable laws, the University has established mandatory youth protection protocols and reporting responsibilities based on state and federal law to protect minors. These requirements are under the management of USC’s Office of Youth Protection and Programming, in consultation with USC’s Youth Protection Advisory and Working Groups.
