Voices Against Violence

PLU Policy and Washington State Law

PLU takes the issue stalking very seriously and is committed to helping faculty and staff members who have been affected by these issues. Policies and protocols exist to promote the safety of the campus community.

PLU Student Conduct

• The PLU Student Code of Conduct protects the rights of all members within our community through policies related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and stalking.
• The Student Conduct System is an educational process.  Please contact the Conduct Coordinator if you would like to pursue a specific incident through the Conduct System or for general questions.
• Once a written report is received by the Conduct Coordinator, the following steps will be taken:

• The incident will be investigated and reviewed by a conduct board through separate meetings with students named in the report and others as deemed necessary.
• The Hearing Officers will make a decision of Responsible, Not Responsible or Inconclusive.
• If found Responsible, the Hearing Officers will assign sanctions based on the nature of the incident.  Sanctions may include educational assignments, meetings, counseling, or a recommendation of suspension, or expulsion.

• For more information, please see the procedure flow chart or reference Sexual Misconduct or University Violence Prevention Policies on the Student Conduct website.
• The Student Conduct System addresses incidents that occur both on and off campus and is separate from any process that may occur outside of PLU.
• The Conduct Coordinator is available to answer questions and provide options regardless of whether you are reporting and incident.
