Preventing and Responding to Sexual Misconduct
In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Brigham Young University (“BYU”) prohibits unlawful sex discrimination against any participant in its education programs or activities. The university also prohibits sexual harassment—including sexual violence—committed by or against students, university employees, and visitors to campus. As outlined in university policy, sexual harassment, dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking are considered forms of “Sexual Misconduct” prohibited by the university.
University policy requires all university employees in a teaching, managerial, or supervisory role to report all incidents of Sexual Misconduct that come to their attention in any way, including but not limited to face-to-face conversations, a written class assignment or paper, class discussion, email, text, or social media post. Incidents of Sexual Misconduct should be reported to the Title IX Coordinator at titlenine@byu.edu or (801) 422-8692. Reports may also be submitted through EthicsPoint at the Title IX incident reporting page or by calling 1-888-238-1062 (24 hours a day).
BYU offers confidential resources for those affected by Sexual Misconduct, including the university’s Victim Advocate, as well as a number of non-confidential resources and services that may be helpful. Additional information about Title IX, the university’s Sexual Misconduct Policy, reporting requirements, and resources can be found at BYU’s Title IX homepage or by contacting the university’s Title IX Coordinator.
