Including Sexual Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Stalking and Retaliation

Our community expects that students who choose to engage in sexual activity do so safely, appropriately, and in a manner that does not violate the law. 

Our Code of Student Conduct reads that “Sexual assaults and other sexual misconduct have a profound impact on both assault survivors and our community.”  Student who attempt or engage in sexual activity must have effective consent from the other person.

Violations may vary in severity and consist of a range of behavior, including but not limited to: non-consensual sexual touching, non-consensual sexual intercourse, and/or forced sexual intercourse. Allegations of sexual misconduct are subject to the Policy Prohibiting Sex Discrimination, Including Sexual Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Stalking and Retaliation, which also outlines the University’s definitions of consent, sexual misconduct, and sexual assault.”
