Sexual Misconduct Policy Overview for New Faculty

Central Michigan University is committed to equal educational and employment opportunity and to the elimination of all forms of prohibited discrimination. Correspondingly, CMU has enacted a Sexual and Gender-based Misconduct Policy. This policy provides information regarding how CMU will proceed once it has become aware of allegations of sexual misconduct in order to prevent its recurrence, remedy its effects, promote safety, and deter individuals from similar future behavior. Under the Sexual Misconduct Policy, dating violence, domestic violence/intimate partner violence, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, sexual harassment, stalking, and retaliation will not be tolerated and are expressly prohibited. CMU strives to eradicate sexual misconduct through primary prevention and ongoing awareness programs, education, training, clear policies, and serious consequences for acts of sexual misconduct. The Sexual and Gender-based Misconduct Policy applies to all CMU faculty, staff, and students regardless of sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.

If you see something, say something. It’s on all of us to take a stand against sexual misconduct.

Vector Solutions is an online training program that reviews CMU’s policies and expectations regarding sexual misconduct. All CMU faculty and staff (with the exception of confidential resources or those named explicitly in the Sexual and Gender-based Misconduct policy) are considered responsible employees and are required to report any information they know about possible sexual misconduct. All employees are required to complete the Vector Solutions online training and will be sent an email with directions on how to access it.
