Policies & Procedures
Discrimination & Harassment
Discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct is unwelcome at RMU, and should be reported to the appropriate parties so that it can be investigated, remedied, and addressed to both stop the offense and limit or eliminate further harm to RMU students, staff, and visitors. RMU has created extensive policies and procedures, in compliance with federal regulations, that address issues of harassment, discrimination, and misconduct. These issues include:
- Title IX – Gender and sex-based harassment or discrimination
- Disability related discrimination
- Any harassment or discrimination by protected class.
The grievance process for addressing these concerns is outlined in this policy:
Grievance Process for Discrimination, Harassment and Other Civil Rights Concerns
The full grievance process and all relevant procedures are described in detail in the RMU Title IX and Civil Rights Handbook.
