Boston College seeks to foster a campus environment that supports its educational mission and is free from exploitation and intimidation, as well as discrimination based upon gender. Sexual misconduct of any kind, including sexual harassment, sexual violence, intimate partner violence, and stalking, is antithetical to the mission of Boston College and the values it espouses and will be responded to accordingly.
The University strives to comply with all civil rights laws, including, without limitation Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”), and has established a policy to address sexual harassment in accordance with regulations promulgated under Title IX.
