Sexual Violence Policy

Sexual violence is an intolerable intrusion into the most personal and private rights of an individual, and is prohibited at SMSU. SMSU is committed to eliminating sexual violence in all forms and will take appropriate remedial action against any individual found responsible for acts in violation of this policy.

Acts of sexual violence may also constitute violations of criminal or civil law, or other Board Policies that may require separate proceedings. To further its commitment against sexual violence, SMSU provides reporting options, an investigative and disciplinary process, and prevention training or other related services as appropriate.

For the complete policy and procedure, please reference the SMSU Sexual Violence Policy.
