Grand Valley State University strives to create an inclusive and equitable campus community where people are treated with dignity and respect. The university is committed to safeguarding individual’s constitutional rights to free speech and assembly and, we are also committed to addressing incidents that may negatively affect individuals and/or communities at the university. If anyone in the Grand Valley community feels belittled, disrespected, or isolated based on their identity, there is a mechanism through Campus Climate Concern to report the incident.
Grand Valley facilitates educational dialogue to ensure that individuals understand both their right to free expression within the community and the impact of their expression on individuals and/or the community. Any time an incident is reported, the reporting party will be contacted and informed about support resources available to them at the university. Incidents reported through the Campus Climate Concerns system may violate university policies or the student code. These incidents will be investigated through the proper adjudicating body or bodies.
SLT 9.1: Policy Prohibiting Title IX Sexual Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, and Discriminatory Harassment
Grand Valley State University (GVSU or “University”) strives to maintain a university community characterized by respect for each other. This includes, but is not limited to, a commitment to providing an educational environment, workplace, programs, and activities that are free from all forms of harassment. Harassment includes sexual harassment prohibited by Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 and implementing regulations (“Title IX Sexual Harassment”), Sexual Misconduct, and Discriminatory Harassment (collectively “Harassment”), as defined below. The University recognizes that Harassment may have serious effects on the well-being of all members of the university community and therefore does not tolerate such behavior.
Upon receiving a report of an alleged violation of this Policy, the University will take prompt and appropriate action in response, including a review of the allegations and, if appropriate, an investigation and other appropriate action to put an end to the alleged misconduct. The University will take all steps necessary to enforce its Non-Retaliation Policy (See V.5. of this Policy) to protect those who report Harassment and/or are involved in an investigation of conduct prohibited by this Policy.
