what is
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT?
Sexual misconduct is a term used to describe many
behaviors including sexual harassment, sexual
violence and discrimination or harassment based
on sex or gender identity. Examples of actions that
constitute sexual misconduct include, but are not
limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Unwelcome sexual advances
Unwelcome verbal or physical conduct
of a sexual nature
Coercion of others
Sexual exploitation
Stalking
Sexual assault
Rape
In addition to being prohibited by University policy
and state law, sexual misconduct is also prohibited
by a federal law known as Title IX which prohibits
discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational
program or activity receiving federal financial
assistance. In accordance with these requirements,
UW-Stout takes immediate and effective steps to
respond to sexual misconduct.
HOW TO RESPOND
HOW TO REPORT
sexual misconduct
to complaints
UW-Stout provides informal and formal processes for
resolving sexual misconduct complaints. Complaints
that contain the following information are most helpful:
the name of the alleged victim, the name of the alleged
offender, a factual description of the incident(s) including
dates, times, places and names of any witnesses.
INFORMAL MEDIATION AND FORMAL REPORTING:
In many instances, informal discussion and mediation
may be useful in resolving some types of sexual
misconduct complaints. A complainant will not be
required to engage in an informal process, and a
complainant may end the informal process at any time
to begin the formal process. Any process will include
appropriate involvement by UW-Stout. Please contact
your supervisor or Title IX Coordinator for consultation
and advisement on formal or informal resolution.
APPLICABILITY TO VISITORS AND OUTSIDE VENDORS:
Consistent with the University’s Sexual Harassment and
Non-Discrimination Policy, complaints against outside
contractors, vendors, program participants and other
visitors should be reported and will be investigated
pursuant to the investigative process, to the extent
possible, depending on the particular circumstance.
Incidents of sexual misconduct can be reported in a
number of ways. The first and most important thing is to
make sure that you or the person who has experienced
sexual misconduct is safe and not in immediate danger.
If you or someone is in danger, call 911 immediately.
If you have been informed, witnessed, or suspect a
student, faculty or staff member who believes they are
the subject of sexual misconduct, please assist them in
seeking guidance from the Title IX Coordinator/Deputies.

The Title IX Coordinator has primary responsibility for
