Policies
These policies reflect the University’s strong commitment to preventing and appropriately responding to complaints of sexual misconduct.
Sexual Misconduct, including sexual assault and other forms of discrimination on the basis of sex and gender identity or expression, is unacceptable and prohibited by the University of Rochester and state law.
The University takes all complaints of this nature seriously and has several policies pertaining to or created for the purpose of ensuring all complaints of sexual misconduct are responded to efficiently, thoroughly, and in accordance with relevant laws.
