STUDENT SEXUAL MISCONDUCT POLICYIntroduction

The University of Michigan-Flint (“University” or “UM-Flint”) values civility, dignity, diversity, education,equality,freedom,honesty,andsafety,asdescribedintheStatement of Student Rights and Responsibilities,andisfirmlycommittedtomaintainingacampusenvironmentfreefromsexualharassment,sexualassault,andotherformsofsex-baseddiscrimination(collectivelyreferredtointhispolicyassexual misconduct).Sexual misconduct jeopardizes the mental, physical, and emotional welfare of our students, as well asthe safety of our community. Sexual misconduct diminishes students’ individual dignity and impedestheiraccesstoeducational,social,andemploymentopportunities.Itcanpermanentlyimpactstudents’livesandmaycauselastingphysicalandpsychologicalharm.Sexualmisconductviolatesourinstitutionalvaluesand its presence in the community presents a barrier to fulfilling the University’s scholarly, research,educational, and services missions. Sexual misconduct, therefore, will not be tolerated at the Universityof Michigan-Flint and is expressly prohibited. Anyone who is aware of sex-based misconduct bya university student should promptly report by taking the appropriate steps to reduce or eliminatetheharassment,preventitsrecurrence,andaddressitseffects.

This policy provides information regarding the University’s prevention and education efforts related tostudent sexual misconduct, as well as how the university will proceed once it is made aware ofallegations of student sexual misconduct in keeping with our institutional values and to meet our legalobligations under Title IX and other relevant laws. The university community will bemade aware of thispolicy through: publication on the university’s Division of Student Affairs website, institutional equitywebsite,andDPSwebsite;annuale-mailnotifications to faculty, staffandstudents;distributionatannualresidence hall meeting, educational programs and workshops; and the Annual Campus Security Report.

Nothing in this policy will be interpreted to violate individual constitutional rights of expression, toinfringe upon academic freedom, or to compromise the university’s education mission. Offensivespeech alone in not legally sufficient to establish a violation of this policy. The expressive conductmust constitute sexual misconduct as defined within this policy for a violation to occur. Sexualmisconduct, however, is not a legally protected expression or a proper exercise of academic freedom.
