Sexual Violence Policy Information

The 1B.3 Sexual Violence Policy of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system addresses sexual violence/sexual assault. This policy states that sexual violence is an intolerable intrusion into the most personal and private rights of an individual, and is prohibited. Sexual violence includes a continuum of conduct that includes sexual assault, non-forcible sex acts, dating and relationship violence, stalking, as well as aiding acts of sexual violence.

This policy applies to all Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (this includes Anoka-Ramsey Community College) students and employees and to others, as appropriate. Minnesota State Colleges and Universities is committed to eliminating sexual violence in all forms and will take appropriate remedial action against any individual found responsible for acts in violation of this policy.
