Sexual Misconduct

PLU’s sexual misconduct policy addresses the responsibilities of Pacific Lutheran University under Title IX and the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. These laws, in conjunction with PLU’s focus on providing an environment in which students can work, live and study free from all types of prohibited conduct, inform the PLU sexual misconduct policy.

PLU’s sexual misconduct policy is consistent with PLU’s Non Discrimination Policy. Specifically, PLU’s Non Discrimination policy prohibits sex discrimination (including sexual misconduct) and its philosophy of providing an environment in which students can live, work and study free from all types of discrimination including gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, or sex discrimination.
