Further, it is critical to this commitment that anyone who believes they may have been the target of or has experienced s*xual misconduct or unlawful protected class discrimination or harassment in the context of University educational programs, activities or employment, to feel free to report their concerns for appropriate investigation and response, without fear of retaliation.

To foster a climate that encourages prevention and reporting of s*xual misconduct and unlawful protected class discrimination or harassment, the University will provide prevention efforts, educate the community, respond to all reports promptly, provide interim protection measures to address safety and recognize the inherent dignity of all individuals involved.
