STATISTICS
Choosing a postsecondary
institution is major decision
for students and their
families. Along with a quality
education, the issue of campus
security and safety is of vital
concern.
a
Because safety is a community
issue, Campus Security,
working in partnership with
students, faculty and staff, can
make this community a safer
place to live, work and learn.
Campus Security prepares
this publication annually for students, parents, faculty and staff at Kirkwood. Inside, you will find
campus crime statistics for the last three years as well as safety related policies and procedures.
Information is prepared in accordance with the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act enacted
by Congress in 1990. The act was amended a number of times, and renamed the Jeanne Clery
Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The Clery Act, as it is
commonly called, requires all institutions of higher education give timely warnings of crimes that
represent a threat to the safety of students or employees, and to make public their campus security
policies. It also requires that crime data is collected, reported and disseminated to the campus
community, and submitted to the U.S. Department of Education. The act is intended to provide
accurate, complete & timely information about safety on campus so you may make informed
decisions.
Kirkwood Community College’s Campus Security is responsible for gathering and publishing
information required by the Clery Act. In addition to the above, law enforcement agencies with
jurisdiction over property owned or controlled by Kirkwood, provide information about crimes
and are included in the annual crime stats. Questions regarding any information contained in this
report may be directed to Melissa Jensen - Director, Emergency Services & Campus Security.
To obtain a printed or paper copy of the report, contact Campus Security.

ROLE OF CAMPUS SECURITY
Campus Security Officers patrol the main campus, respond
to emergencies and other calls for service on all campuses,
conduct traffic checks, walk through campus buildings, staff
special events, and facilitate a variety of safety and security
presentations.
Campus Security Officers may ask persons for identification
to determine whether individuals have legitimate business at
the college. Campus Security Officers have the authority to
investigate offenses involving rule violations and to make a
referral to the appropriate area of the college.
Campus Security officers do not possess arrest powers and
do not carry firearms. Criminal incidents are referred to the
law enforcement who have jurisdiction on campus. Campus
Security maintains a highly professional working relationship
with law enforcement. All crime victims and witnesses are
strongly encouraged to immediately report the crime to
Campus Security and other appropriate law enforcement.
FIREARMS/WEAPONS
Weapons of any kind, whether carried openly or concealed,
are not allowed on campus. This is regardless of the
individual having a weapon permit issued by Iowa or any
other state. Exemptions: This policy does not apply to
law enforcement personnel who are carrying weapons in
performance of their duties.
The definition of what is considered a weapon, along with
more information on Kirkwood’s Weapons Policy is available
at www.kirkwood.edu/security
Kirkwood’s emergency notification system is
Kirkwood Alert. In an emergency, where time is
critical, Kirkwood will provide emergency alerts,
notifications and updates to email accounts, cell
phone, and desktops. Kirkwood Alert is your
connection to real time emergency information,
updates, and instructions on where to go, what to
do or not do, who to contact, and other important critical emergency information.
Building Access
Kirkwood Alert is not automatic. You must sign
up. Go to www.kirkwood.edu/alert. It is also

Most academic buildings are locked in the evening and remain
locked during the overnight hours. They are generally unlocked
before 7 a.m., Monday through Friday. The majority of buildings are
not accessible on the weekends or on college holidays. Exceptions
to regular hours may be arranged by completing a School Dude
or contacting the Campus Security office at 319-389-1774. After
hours access to buildings or offices may be gained by contacting
Campus Security.
It is a good idea to walk in pairs whenever possible,
particularly when walking on campus during hours of
darkness. Campus Security escorts on main campus may be
obtained by calling 319-389-1774.
Kirkwood Community College | Campus Security
REPORTING CRIMES
AND EMERGENCIES
Anyone on any Kirkwood campus who witnesses or is the victim
of a crime or any criminal activity should contact Campus
Security by dialing 319-389-1774. For an Emergency or to
report a crime in progress, dial 911. Be prepared to provide:
• location: be as specific as possible.
• type of crime being committed.
• if an ambulance or other emergency vehicles
are needed.
• any descriptions you can provide.
Stay on the line until help arrives or the dispatcher tells you to
hang up.
Campus Security Officers will respond, take action if
appropriate, investigate, and file a report. Incidents may also be
reported to the respective law enforcement agency. Assistance in
contacting these agencies is available through Campus Security.
All crimes reported to Dean of Students, or other Kirkwood
staff, must also be reported to Campus Security.
Daily Log
Campus Security maintains a daily log, which is available for
public view during normal business hours, Monday through
Friday. The log is located at the Campus Security office on the
north side of the main campus. All release of information is
subject to federal and state restrictions.
Campus Safety Alerts (Timely Warnings)
In the event a situation arises, either on or off campus, that in
the judgement of Campus Security, the Director of Emergency
Services & Campus Security, the Associate Vice President of
Facilities, or other administrative officials or if advised by law
enforcement, constitutes an ongoing immediate or continuing
threat to the campus community, a “timely warning” will be
issued. “Timely warnings” are issued through a variety of
sources including but not limited to the emergency notification
system Kirkwood Alert (email, text, desktop notification), email,
social media, Kirkwood website, etc. Check www.kirkwood.
edu/security for more information.
Sex Offender Registry
Iowa law requires a person who has been convicted of a sex
offense to register with the sheriff in the county in which he/she
resides, and if the person attends or works for an institution of
higher education, register with the sheriff in the county in which
the institution is located. To obtain information regarding sex
offenders, contact the local sheriff’s office or check the Iowa Sex
Offender Registry at www.iowasexoffender.com. For additional
assistance, contact Campus Security.
SILENT WITNESS
If you have information or are the victim of a crime and do not
want to pursue action within Kirkwood or the criminal justice
system, you may still want to consider making a confidential
report. To complete a “Silent Witness” report, go to www.
kirkwood.edu/security. The purpose of a confidential report
is to comply with your wish to keep the matter confidential
while taking steps to ensure the future safety of yourself
and others. With such information, Kirkwood can keep an
accurate record of the number of incidents involving students,
determine where there is a pattern of crime with regard to a
particular location, method, or assailant, and alert the campus
community to potential danger.
CRIME REPORTING AREAS
The Campus Security Act defines three areas where crime must be
reported by an institution:
Campus
What most people think of as the main part or core of the college.
Owned or controlled by the college and located within the confines of
the main campus.
Non-campus Building or Property
Owned or controlled by the college, used for educational
purposes, and frequently used by students.
Public Property
Within the campus or immediately adjacent to the campus.
Private properties adjacent to campus, including apartment
complexes are not owned or controlled by the college, and are

THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM
Kirkwood Community College has established a Threat Assessment Team to ensure we provide the safest possible environment for our students, faculty, staff, and other community members. This team includes individuals from a variety
of disciplines. The Threat Assessment Team will be working in conjunction with student, faculty, and staff as well as
many other resources within the Kirkwood community. The responsibility of the team includes responding to reported
concerns and developing assessment and prevention programming.
The Threat Assessment Team serves as a point of contact for students, faculty, staff, and other members of the community who are aware of, or are experiencing threatening or potentially threatening behavior. The team will gather
factual information, review, and investigate individual concerns brought to the attention of the team, and will facilitate
a timely and reasonable response.
The following are some of the “red flag” indicators a person might notice:
· Harassing, threatening, or stalking behavior
· Contact (letter, e-mail, phone call, voicemail, or face to face visit) that makes a hostile reference to faculty,
staff, student, or other Kirkwood community members
· Open displays of agitation and disruptive behavior toward faculty, staff, or students, or directed at
Kirkwood, regardless of whether a threat is made
· Preoccupation/fascination with violence or previous incidents of violence
· Unsolicited comments about firearms or other dangerous weapons
· Makes statements of intent to harm self or others
· Makes reference to committing a violent act
If you experience troubling or threatening behavior/inappropriate communications or if you become aware of the
same, during normal business hours, contact team members Melissa Jensen-Director, Emergency Services & Campus
Security, ph. 398-5491, melissa.jensen@kirkwood.edu, Jon Buse - Vice President Student Services, ph. 398-4977, jon.
buse@kirkwood.edu, or Melissa Payne - Dean of Students, ph. 319-398-5584, melissa.payne@kirkwood.edu. If the

Discrimination and Harassment
Kirkwood Community College is an equal access/equal employment opportunity institution in compliance with local, state and
federal laws and does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, creed, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation,
gender, gender identity, physical attributes, physical or mental ability, marital status, veteran status, genetic information, or
socioeconomic status. The Human Resources Department is available to answer questions or provide additional information related
to the College’s Equal Employment Policies and Affirmative Action Plan. Human Resources department may be reached at 319398-5572.
Kirkwood employees and students who feel they have been discriminated against on the basis of sex, race, color, creed, religion,
national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, physical attributes, physical or mental ability, marital status, veteran
status, genetic information, or socioeconomic status may seek remedy through an internal complaint process. The College assures
that full cooperation will be provided to any individual filing a complaint with no threat of penalty or reprisal to the complainant.
Any person who believes that they have been the recipient of a discriminatory or harassing act may file a complaint with the
Executive Director, Human Resources, Michael Roberts, 313 Kirkwood Hall, at extension 5572; or Vice President, Academic
Affairs, Bill Lamb, 100 Iowa Hall, at extension 5509. If the complaint involves alleged discriminatory or harassing behavior by the
Executive Director, Human Resources, the Vice President, Academic Affairs (319-398-5509) should be contacted in lieu of the
Executive Director, Human Resources.
If you witness or experience harassment or sexual harassment, we strongly encourage you to report the incident immediately.
Definition of Sexual Harassment
Faculty, staff and students at Kirkwood Community College have a right to be free from sexual harassment by supervisors,staff and
teachers. Kirkwood does not condone actions and words that a reasonable person would regard as sexually harassing or coercive.
Sexual harassment encompasses any sexual attention that is unwanted, and is defined as unwelcome advances, requests for
sexual or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
•Submission is made an expressed or implied term or condition of employment or status in a class, program or activity.
•Submission to or rejection of the behavior is used to make an employment or educational decision (such as hiring, promotion or grading a
course).
•The conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with a person’s work or educational performance, or creates an intimidating,
hostile or offensive environment for work or learning.
Sexual harassment may take many forms. For example:
•Physical assault.
•Direct or implied threats that submission to sexual advances will be a condition of employment, work status, promotion or grades.
•Direct propositions or comments of a sexual nature.
•Comments of a sexual nature.
•Sexually explicit statements, questions, jokes or anecdotes.
•Unnecessary touching, patting, hugging or brushing against a person’s body.
•Remarks of a sexual nature about a person’s clothing or body, about sexual activity or about previous sexual experience.
•Students, faculty and staff need to be concerned not only with the intent of their actions of this kind, but also the effects. While sexual
harassment involves repeated, unwanted sexual attention, persons involved in isolated or inadvertent incidents demonstrate insensitivity toward
others. This type of behavior will also be considered intentional violations of this policy.
• unnecessary touching, patting, hugging or brushing against a person’s body;
• remarks of a sexual nature about a person’s clothing or body, about sexual activity or about previous sexual experience.

REDUCE YOUR RISK
Be cautious and prepared.
Learn the locations of the emergency call boxes in
main campus parking lots (www.kirkwood.edu/
maincampus).The phones allow one-button emergency
voice connection to 911 and Campus Security. For
other locations, know where the closest phone is.
• Avoid walking alone, particularly after dark.
• Travel well-lighted, regular walkways and avoid
shortcuts.
• Make use of the main campus escort service, 319389-1774.
• Stay alert to your surroundings. Be aware of what
is going on around you.
• Hold off on phone calls. Though it might make
you feel safer, it actually distracts your attention.
Don’t Leave Property Unattended
Anywhere! If you’re leaving for a minute, take your things with you.
• Don’t leave notes on your door saying you aren’t
home.
•
• Use a lock when storing valuables.
Housing Tips
When looking into rental properties, there are a few
very basic safety features you should consider before
signing a lease.
1. Doors should be made of metal or solid wood.
Good deadbolt locks and peepholes are also a must.
2. Make sure the management changes locks or
permits the tenant to change them when moving
in.
• Report suspicious activity to Campus Security.
3. Sliding glass doors should be secured with pins or a
bar type locking device.
Lock Up
4. Ground floor apartment windows should be
secured with pins latches.
•
Keep your apartment doors and windows locked
even when you’re home. Lock your door when you
leave, even if it’s “just for a minute.”
• Don’t hide the key to your apartment or loan it out.
•
Close your curtains or blinds after dark.
• Keep car doors locked and windows up, when
parked & when you’re driving.
5. Hallways & stairs should be well lit.
6. Bushes and shrubbery should be cut back below
window height to reduce the risk of attackers
hiding in them.
7. Is there on-site security?
8. Find out if there have been burglaries in the
complex.
Keep Yourself Safe
9. Ask how extra keys are secured and who has access
to them.
•
10.Ensure parking areas are well lit at night
Make it tough for someone to take you by suprise
- don’t wear eadbuds when walking, running, or
studying alone.
• Head toward crowds, lights, and buildings if you’re
being followed.
•
Don’t walk alone, especially after dark. Stay on well
populated, well-lit paths.
• Don’t engage an unknown caller in conversation or
give away personal details.
11.Installation of a simple alarm system might be a
good option for additional security at a relatively
low expense.
Keep in mind looks can be deceiving. Just because a
complex is new does not mean it is safe. Look closely
at the apartments you are considering. If they don’t
have the majority of the safety features listed above you
should probably keep looking. When it comes to your
safety you should not compromise.

STUDENT CONDUCT CODE
Kirkwood Community College is an academic community built on the principles of mutual respect, integrity, and honesty. The
College strives to provide a community wherein individuals have the right to express their opinions and ideas, to assemble
peacefully, and to associate freely in a manner that does not interfere with the rights of others and is in the confines of intellectual
honesty. In order to thrive as an educational institution, the college has adopted this Student Conduct Code (“Student Code”) to
promote and preserve its educational mission for the benefit of all who are invited to be a part of the community.
It is in the best interest of the College and all those who are students or who may desire to become students at the College that
the disciplinary procedure be defined. This document prescribes procedures to be followed in disciplinary cases in order that
cases may be handled in a timely manner while serving the interests of the college community and safeguarding the rights of all
students. Administrative responsibility for the establishment and enforcement of policies governing non-academic student conduct
and disciplinary action has been delegated by the Kirkwood Community College President to the Vice President for Student
Services. The Vice President has, in turn, delegated considerable authority for the establishment of rules and handling of violations
to the Dean of Students and other bodies as designated in this policy.
Information included in the code is:
•Student Code Authority
•Prohibited Conduct
•Jurisdiction
•Conduct - Rules & Regulations
•Violation of Law and College Discipline
•Student Conduct Code Procedures
•Charges and Student Conduct Hearing
•Sanctions
•Interim Suspension
•Appeals
•Composition of Student Conduct Committee
•Training
•Interpretation and Revision
Additional information on the Student Conduct Code is available at http://www.kirkwood.edu/catalog/2014-2015/studentconduct-code.htm

ALCOHOL AND DRUG POLICY
Alcohol Policy
The on-campus use of alcoholic beverages is allowed at Kirkwood only where prior written approval for the serving of alcohol
has been obtained from the president (or designee). All Iowa state laws and local statutes regarding the use, purchase, possession,
distribution, or dispensation of alcohol must be observed. Food and nonalcoholic beverages must also be made available at events
in which alcoholic beverages are served. Alcohol is prohibited at any event in which the majority of participants are under the age
of 21; where alcoholic beverages are the focal point of the event, or which contributes to alcohol overindulgence or abuse.
Drug Policy
The unlawful use, possession, distribution, or dispensation of any narcotic (including prescription medications), dangerous drug or
controlled substance is strictly prohibited on campus or at any college-sponsored activity.
Sanctions
There are substantial penalties for drug and alcohol violations. Individuals are subject to federal, state and local laws, as well as
college policies. Both state and federal laws prohibit distribution or manufacture of controlled substances or counterfeit controlled
substances. Penalties can result in imprisonment and fines depending on the severity of the crime.
State and local ordinances regulate alcohol. Underage possession of alcohol, driving while intoxicated, public intoxication,
public consumption, serving underage intoxicated individuals, open containers and large private parties are all affected by these
laws. Check with the local police department for more information. The college may also impose sanctions against students and
employees who violate this policy. The procedures for administering sanctions are described below under, “Procedures.”
Procedures
Students who violate this policy may be referred for an educational/treatment program and may be subject to disciplinary action
in accordance with the policies and procedures outlined in the Student Conduct Code. The Dean of Students or designee will
determine if the student is responsible for violating this policy and will impose appropriate sanctions. Sanctions may include
warning, probation, suspension, expulsion, and other discretionary sanctions, including educational or treatment programs.
Hazards of Drug Use and Available Services
Illicit drug use may result in:
- physical or psychological dependency;
- a craving or inability to stop using drugs;
- adverse effects on body systems;
- injury due to motor vehicle crashes, assaults or other unintended acts;
- disruption of personal relationships and work habits;
- ineligibility for some types of employment.
Additional information about specific drugs and their effects is available from the Campus Health office, Iowa Hall.

Sexual Assault Prevention & Response
Kirkwood has educational programs to promote the awareness of rape, acquaintance rape, domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, and stalking. Delivery means include, but are not limited to, College 101 classes, inservice training, online training,
guest speakers, intranet, and other programs. These programs are coordinated thru the Dean of Students office, Human Resources,
and Campus Security. Campus Security also offers education and information programs to Kirkwood students, faculty, and
staff upon request, often provided through a partnership with local law enforcement agencies such as the Cedar Rapids Police
Department. Information is also available through Student Life and Campus Health.
Kirkwood is making a good faith effort to comply with the requirements of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and is in
the process of revising and expanding educational programs/training in this area for students, faculty, and staff.
Preservation of Evidence
It is important that a victim of sexual assault not bathe, douche, smoke, change clothing, or clean the bed/linen/area where they
were assaulted if the offense occurred within the past 96 hours so evidence may be preserved that may assist in proving the alleged
criminal offense occurred/is occurring or may be helpful in obtaining a protection order. If victims do not opt for forensic evidence
collection, health care providers can still treat injuries and take steps to address concerns of pregnancy or sexually transmitted
disease. Victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and dating violence are encouraged to also preserve evidence by
saving text messages, instant messages, social networking pages, other communications, and to keep pictures, logs, or other copies
of documents, that may useful to the Kirkwood hearing board, investigators, or police.
Campus Sexual Assault Victim Bill of Rights
You have the right to:
•Reasonable changes to academic and living conditions
•Referrals to counseling assistance & in notifying law enforcement
•Same opportunity as accused to have others present at disciplinary hearing
•Notified of outcome of hearing, sanctions and terms of sanctions in place
•Speak (or choose not to speak) to anyone regarding the outcome
•Name and identifying information kept confidential (FERPA)
Bystander Intervention
Bystanders play a critical role in the prevention of sexual and relationship violence. They are not directly involved but can choose to
do something - to intervene or to speak up. Kirkwood wants to promote a culture of accountability where bystanders are actively
engaged in the prevention of violence without causing further harm. We may not always know what to do even if we want to help.
Below is a list (1) of some ways to be an active bystander. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, dial 911.This could be
when a person is yelling at or being physically abusive towards another and it is not safe for you to interrupt.
1. Watch out for your friends and fellow students/employees. If you see someone who looks like they could be in trouble or need help, ask if they are ok.
2. Confront people who seclude, hit on, try to make out with, or have sex with people who are incapacitated.
3. Speak up when someone discusses plans to take sexual advantage of another person.
4. Believe someone who discloses sexual assault, abusive behavior, or experience with stalking.
5. Refer people to on or off campus resources listed in this document for support in health, counseling, or with legal
assistance.
6. Indirect intervention works as well. Get creative – spill a drink, strike up a conversation or ask if one or both parties wants to get some food, and/or involve friends in a solution that fits the situation.

SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
Kirkwood Community College prohibits sexual misconduct in any form, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, and other
forms of nonconsensual sexual conduct, all of which can be forms of sexual discrimination. The College will respond promptly and
equitably to all reports of sexual misconduct, and will take appropriate action to prevent sexual misconduct through education of
students, faculty, and staff. The College will adhere to all federal, state, and local requirements for prevention, intervention, and
crime reporting related to sexual misconduct.
Kirkwood Community College is committed to creating and maintaining a community where students who participate in College
programs and activities can work and learn together in an atmosphere free from sexual misconduct. The Policy is designed to assist
victims in easily recognizing the different forms of sexual misconduct and how to comfortably seek assistance. It also informs all
students of their expectations under the Policy.
The Policy
This Policy prohibits sexual misconduct in any form, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, stalking, domestic violence, dating violence, and retaliation, all as defined in Section II. The College will respond to reports of sexual misconduct in accordance with This Policy. To view the entire policy, click on

Reporting Sexual Misconduct, including Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment
Contacting Police or Campus Security does not mean a student must pursue charges. Campus Security and local law
enforcement can advise students of their options and can also preserve evidence while the person considers her/his
options.
A.
Reporting to Law Enforcement
Because sexual misconduct may constitute both a violation of college policy and criminal activity, the college strongly encourages, but does not require, students to report concerns of sexual misconduct to law enforcement
as soon as possible after the incident. A student may proceed under this Policy whether or not he or she elects to
report to law enforcement as well.
1.
For emergencies, contact 9-1-1.
2.
To contact law enforcement in non-emergency situations, call the non-emergency number for
your local police department.
B.
Reporting to Kirkwood
To seek assistance and support, or to report misconduct in non-emergency situations, contact the Dean of
Students Office, 108 Iowa Hall, 319-398-5540 or Campus Security, 319-389-1774. Other reporting options include:

Process for Responding to Reports of Sexual Misconduct
A.
Initial Steps
1.
Initial Meeting with the Complainant
Upon receipt of any report of sexual misconduct, the Dean of Students or designee will first schedule a meeting with the reporter (referred to as “Complainant” for ease of reference, although a report does
not necessarily have to result in a formal complaint) in order to provide the Complainant a general
understanding of this Policy and to identify forms of support or immediate interventions available to the
Complainant. The intake meeting may also involve a discussion of any accommodations that may be
appropriate concerning the Complainant’s academic, employment, or housing arrangements.
At the initial intake meeting with the Complainant, the Dean or designee will seek to determine how the Complainant wishes to proceed. The Complainant may opt for: (1) formal resolution (see section B, below); (2) informal resolution (see section C, below); or (3) not proceeding.
If the Complainant would like assistance throughout any College investigation or adjudication process, the Dean of Students Office will make a student services staff member available to the Complainant. This staff member is not an “advocate” as that term is used below (see Article VII, A, Confidential
Advocacy and Support), nor is that staff person a representative who will speak on behalf of the
Complainant in any investigatory or adjudication process. Rather, the staff member serves as a point of contact to answer questions and explain processes, to make sure the Complainant’s expressed needs are being addressed, and to join the Complainant in meetings if requested. (The Dean also will provide the same resource to students accused of sexual misconduct.)
2.
Notification of the Title IX Coordinator
The Dean of Students or designee will notify the Title IX Coordinator and the deputy Title IX coordinator(s) of the report (even if the report does not proceed). This is to keep the Title IX
Coordinator apprised of any potential patterns of misconduct and/or the need for further training or other prevention measures.
B.
Formal Resolution
A Complainant may elect to pursue a formal resolution, which involves a hearing before the Sexual Misconduct Board. Such a hearing is also referred to as “formal resolution,” and is described more specifically in this section.
1.
Investigation
When the Complainant indicates a desire to pursue formal resolution, the Dean of Students will meet
with the Complainant and prepare a written complaint. The Dean will consult with the Title IX coordi-
nator and the deputy Title IX coordinators in appointing a person(s) to serve as investigator(s) of the com-
plaint. The investigator(s) may be a College administrator or someone retained by the College, such as an attorney, mental health professional, or another person trained to conduct investigations of sexual miscon-
duct. The investigators serve as neutral fact-finders, who during the course of the investigation, typically conduct interviews with the Complainant, the accused student(s) and each third-party witness; visit and take photographs at each relevant site; and where applicable, coordinate with law enforcement agencies to collect and preserve relevant evidence.
13
Kirkwood Community College | Campus Security
2.
Investigative Report
After conducting the investigation, the investigator(s) will complete an investigative report that includes,
among other things:
•
Summaries of interviews with the complainant, the accused student and each third-party witness;
photographs of relevant sites and related logs; electronic and forensic evidence; and a detailed written
analysis of the events in question.
•
A recommendation on whether or not there should be a hearing, based on factors including
whether there is a substantial dispute in the facts, the availability of witnesses and evidence, etc. The Title
IX coordinator will make the ultimate decision on whether a hearing will be held.
The investigative report will be distributed, concurrently, to both of the parties and to the Dean of Students
and Title IX Coordinator. If a hearing is held, the Sexual Misconduct Board will also be provided with a
copy of the report.
3.
Determining Whether to Hold a Hearing
If the Title IX Coordinator decides, upon consideration of the investigator’s recommendation, to hold a
hearing, notice of that determination will be delivered, concurrently, to the Dean, the Complainant, and
the accused student(s). A student whose request for a hearing is denied by the Title IX Coordinator may
appeal that decision to the President or designee, whose decision will be final.
4.
Complainant Changes Election to Informal Resolution or Accused Student Elects to Accept Responsibility.
After reviewing the investigative report, the Complainant may decide to elect Informal Resolution instead
of formal resolution, by making such a request to the Dean of Students prior to the hearing date. At any
point prior to the hearing, the accused student may elect to admit responsibility for the alleged sexual
misconduct. In such cases, the Dean of Students or designee will propose a resolution to the complaint and
a sanction. If both the Complainant and the accused student agree to the proposed sanction, the complaint
is resolved without a hearing and without any further rights of appeal by either party. If either the complain
ant or the accused student objects to the proposed sanction, a hearing before the Board will be convened for
the sole purpose of determining a sanction, and in these cases, the decision of the Board may be appealed
pursuant to paragraph 13, “Appeals,” below. For purposes of this sanction hearing, all of the other
provisions of this Policy relating to the imposition of a sanction for Sexual Misconduct will apply.
5.
Advisors
The Complainant and the Accused Student may have an advisor present to assist them during the pre
hearing, hearing, and appeal stages of the complaint process. The advisor may be an attorney chosen at the
student’s expense. However, advisors are not permitted to speak or to participate directly in the process,
including at any hearing before a Sexual Misconduct Board. Students should select as an advisor a person
whose schedule allows attendance at the scheduled date and time for the hearing because delays will not
normally be allowed due to the scheduling conflicts of an advisor.
6.
Notice of Hearing and Pre-Hearing Meetings.
If a hearing is scheduled, the Dean of Students will provide written notice to both parties pursuant to
Article IV. A. 4 of the Student Conduct Code. In addition, the Dean of Students or designee will schedule
separate meetings with the Complainant and the accused student to review the hearing procedures and the
complaint of sexual misconduct.
7.
Hearing Procedures
Unless otherwise stated in this Policy, the pre-hearing and hearing procedures will follow the rules and
procedures described in Article IV, of the Student Conduct Code.
14
Kirkwood Community College | Campus Security
8.
Conduct of the Hearing
Formal rules of process, procedure, and/or technical rules of evidence, such as are applied in criminal or civil court, are not used in these proceedings. During the hearing, the parties will be expected not to repeat undisputed details or non-material circumstances that would merely duplicate information con
tained in the investigative report or in other written materials. Only the Board Chair and Board members
may question the parties and other witnesses directly. The parties may pose written questions to the Chair
to be asked of the other party or other witnesses consistent with Article IV, A, 10, i, of the Student Con
duct Code. All procedural questions, including the decision to accept evidence and/or statements, will be made by the Chair, in his or her sole discretion.
•
In cases of sexual assault, measures may be taken to avoid contact during the hearing between the complainant and the alleged perpetrator (e.g., videoconferencing).
9.
Standard of Proof
The determination of whether or not a violation of this Policy occurred will be made on the basis of whether it is more likely than not that the accused student violated this Policy. This standard is more formally referred to as the “preponderance of evidence” standard. In making its deter-
mination, the Board will carefully consider all of the evidence presented and follow the proce-
dures stated in this Policy and the applicable sections of the Student Conduct Code in order to ensure as fair a hearing as possible for all parties.
10.
Sanction
The Board is required to consider the suspension or expulsion (permanent suspension) of any student found responsible for sexual assault; however, the Board may impose any sanction that it finds to be fair and proportionate to the violation and in accordance with Article IV, B, of the Student Conduct Code.

Immediate Actions (Interim Measures)

These actions may include interim suspension of the accused student or no-contact notices between the individuals involved. The Dean of Students Office and Campus Security may also take additional actions, as appropriate, including but not limited to:
•
Modifying class or work schedules, or housing arrangements
•

VII. Resources and Services for Students
There are campus and community services available to students regardless of whether or not a student chooses to report
a violation of this Policy to the College or local law enforcement. The College strongly encourages students to seek
assistance to care for themselves emotionally and physically through confidential crisis intervention, health care, and
counseling. As students tend to their health, they should keep in mind that medical examinations are time-sensitive, and are critical in preserving evidence of sexual assault so that options can be considered at a later time.
A.
Confidential Advocacy and Support
Riverview Center (Cedar Rapids)
Riverview Center provides trained advocates to assist victims of sexual assault. Advocates can assist students with medical and legal advocacy, counseling, and case management. Advocates can speak with students confidentially as they consider their options. Any communication with a Riverview Center advo-
cate is legally protected under Iowa Code Section 915.20, which allows for confidential communications that cannot be disclosed without the student’s permission.
