Lakeland prohibits incidents of harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct occurring on or off campus. When such an allegation is reported to appropriate Lakeland officials, protective and remedial measures will be used to reasonably ensure such conduct ends, is not repeated, and the effects on the Reporting Party and community are remedied, including serious sanctions (up to and including termination, suspension or expulsion, if circumstances warrant) when a Responding Party is found to have violated this Policy. Students and employees who retaliate against individuals who report or participate in an investigation regarding Prohibited Conduct will be subject to disciplinary action separate and apart from any findings related to sexual misconduct.

Students and employees are strongly encouraged to report any/all incidents of sexual discrimination, harassment or sexual misconduct to the Lakeland University Campus Safety Department ("LUCSD"), the Title IX Coordinator, or any Deputy Title IX Coordinator. When an allegation is brought to an appropriate University official, the University will respond promptly, equitably, and thoroughly.

All Lakeland University community members (faculty, staff, students, trustees, contract personnel, agents, visitors, guests, volunteers, and other individuals associated with the University) are prohibited from engaging in acts of discrimination based on the above-referenced bases. This Policy applies to all associations, clubs, organizations and their members affiliated with and utilizing the benefits and services provided by or connected with the University. All University policies, practices and procedures are administered in a manner consistent with Lakeland University United Church of Christ Mission and Guiding Values.
