Sex-Based Harassment

58体育直播 is a Catholic, Franciscan institution of higher education committed to excellence in teaching, learning, scholarship, and service. Alvernia鈥檚 Core Values of Service, Humility, Peacemaking, Contemplation and Collegiality stand in direct opposition to any form of sex-based discrimination, sexual violence, stalking and intimate partner violence. Such acts are an affront to human dignity and fundamentally at odds with the Franciscan Core Values and the Mission of 58体育直播. Ultimately, each member of the University community is expected to assume responsibility for his/her conduct, to report behaviors that may violate this policy, and to take reasonable and prudent actions to prevent or stop acts of sex-based harassment, sexual violence, stalking or intimate partner violence.
 

Pregnancy Policy

Transgender Students

58体育直播 strives to provide a safe and supportive environment that will help students succeed academically and socially. To that end, the University promotes respect for all people. A student who identifies as transgender may contact the Title IX and Clery Act Officer, as identified above. The Officer will extend an invitation to meet with the student (and the student鈥檚 family, with the student鈥檚 consent) to identify the needs and desires of the student with respect to the specific rights afforded under Title IX. The Officer will ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to provide for the safety, well-being, and general welfare of the student and will notify other university administrators and faculty on a need-to-know basis.
 

Grievances

Grievances brought by students against other students will be addressed through our Community Standards process. (See Community Standards chapter in the Student Handbook.) The faculty, staff, and student employee grievance process is addressed in the Employee Handbook, and outlined in the Sex-Based Harassment and Misconduct Policy, which applies to all faculty, staff, and students.
