What is Title IX?

Sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, sexual violence, sexual exploitation, 亲密伴侣暴力和跟踪行为违反了大学的民权政策和程序以及性行为不端政策. A number of federal laws and regulations, including Title IX, 《全世界最大的网赌网址》和《全世界最大的网赌网址》规定各机构如何应对此类指控. Many types of sexual misconduct also constitute violations of Nebraska law.

Members of the campus community, guests and visitors have a right to be free from sexual misconduct. 社会的所有成员都必须以一种不侵犯他人权利的方式行事. The college’s sexual misconduct policy 旨在定义对适当行为的期望，并概述解决不符合这些期望的行为的过程. When individuals accused of sexual misconduct are found to be in violation of the policy, the college will impose serious sanctions, as noted on the What is Sexual Harassment page.

All members of the campus community, 无论其性取向或性别认同如何，客人和访客都受到这项政策的保护. 学院对涉及校园社区成员的所有不当性行为都有管辖权，无论这些行为发生在哪里, whether on- or off-campus. For more details on this policy, please see the college’s civil rights policies and procedures.

Additional information about campus crime, state laws and disclosures related to sexual misconduct can be found online in the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report.
