It is a violation of PLU policy for any member of the PLU community (faculty, staff, student, volunteer) to engage in any conduct defined in this policy as Prohibited Conduct including, without limitation, Sex Discrimination, Sex-based Harassment, Sexual Assault, and Sexual Misconduct, Dating Violence or Domestic Violence (“Relationship Violence”), and Stalking, whether or not it occurs on campus. This policy is intended to meet the requirements of applicable federal and state laws. Nothing in this policy restricts any rights that would otherwise be protected from government action by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, deprives a person of the rights that would otherwise be protected from government action under the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, or restrict any other rights guaranteed against government action by the U.S. Constitution. If this policy becomes inconsistent with any applicable law, it is the University’s commitment to update policies to be consistent with applicable laws.
Pacific Lutheran University complies with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended 2008: Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; and all other federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability. PLU is committed to providing individuals with disabilities equal access to the institution’s programs and activities.
Parties may request reasonable accommodations for disabilities at any point relating to the implementation of the policy, including making a disclosure or report, and initiating a grievance procedure. Accommodations may be granted if they are reasonable and do not fundamentally alter the procedures established by this policy. The University will not affirmatively provide disability accommodations that have not been requested, even if accommodations are being provided in other programs and activities.
With consent of the Impacted Student, the Title IX Coordinator will work collaboratively with the Office of Accessibility and Accommodations to ensure the approved reasonable accommodations are implemented.
