2. Aiding Sexual Misconduct – Providing aid to someone attempting to or engaging in an act
of sexual misconduct is considered a violation of the sexual misconduct policy.
3. Retaliation – Taking an action against a person who has opposed sexual misconduct,
reported sexual misconduct, or participated in an investigation concerning sexual
misconduct. Retaliation can include physical violence, threats, intimidation or coercion;
adverse employment or educational actions (such as demotion, discharge, giving an
unwarranted bad grade); or increasing or intensifying a pattern of sexual misconduct. An act
of retaliation toward any person who has opposed, reported, or participated in an
investigation of sexual misconduct is prohibited and will be subject to disciplinary action, up
to and including immediate expulsion or discharge.
4. Malicious Reporting – Submitting a false report of sexual misconduct with the intent of
causing emotional, psychological, educational, or other harm to another person. A Sexual
Misconduct Hearing Board (described below in F.6 and H) finding of “Not in Violation”
regarding the sexual misconduct policy is not sufficient evidence to demonstrate that a report
was malicious or that a violation did not occur. A finding of this nature simply indicates the
Board felt there was not enough evidence to find a person in violation.
