Sexual Misconduct Policy

Sexual Misconduct violates the dignity of individuals. It is a form of discrimination based on sex or gender that violates federal Title IX regulations and is prohibited by Tufts policy. In some cases, sexual misconduct can also be a violation of criminal law. Sexual misconduct includes stalking, sexual exploitation, sexual assault, sexual harassment, sex discrimination and relationship violence. Tufts is committed to providing an education and work environment that is free from sexual misconduct. The University works to prevent and address sexual misconduct through educational programs, training, and complaint resolution. Tufts encourages all members of the University community to report any concerns or complaints of sexual misconduct. Managers, supervisors and other agents of the University are required to report promptly and appropriately all allegations of sexual misconduct that are brought to their attention.
