Student Sexual Misconduct Policy
http://www.uni.edu/president/policies/315.shtml
The University of Northern Iowa is committed to providing a safe living and learning environment for all students. Maintaining this type of environment requires that any sexual behavior of students be consensual. Special emphasis is placed on violence prevention, providing support for those who may have been victimized and ensuring a vigorous enforcement of institutional policy and law.
The University’s response to sexual misconduct seeks to balance the rights, needs and privacy of victims and those of the accused, while maintaining the health and safety of the campus community.
