    The University of Miami continues to raise awareness about the prevention of sexual violence and sexual misconduct on all campuses as it seeks to maintain a safe and inclusive learning, living, and working environment. Continuing this commitment of responsibility, UM has adopted a Sexual Misconduct policy that provides information about the guidelines and resources available for faculty, staff, and students affected by sexual misconduct.

    The policy states that “sexual misconduct committed by a student, employee, or faculty is strictly prohibited. For purposes of this policy, sexual misconduct includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, stalking, and retaliation (collectively referred to as “Prohibited Conduct”). Conduct under this policy is prohibited regardless of the sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or gender expression of the Complainant or the Respondent.” This policy applies to all UM students, faculty, staff, contractors, vendors, or other third parties within UM’s control, and visitors or guests of the University. The complete Sexual Misconduct policy can be found on the University’s Title IX webpage.

    The University encourages you to share this zero-tolerance policy with others and report incidents of inappropriate behavior to the authorities identified in the policy or anonymously through the ’Cane Watch system. Anyone determined to have engaged in prohibited conduct is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including separation from the University.
