Sexual Harassment—Policies pertaining to sexual harassment are contained in the Regents policy adopted December 11, 1998. The policy defines sexual harassment in the following manner.
Sexual harassment means unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and/or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when: 1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment or academic advancement in any University activity or program; 2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis of employment or academic decisions affecting this individual in any University activity or program; or 3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or academic performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or academic environment in any University activity or program.
All-University policies and procedures pertaining to sexual
harassment are available online.
Crime Statistics—Crime statistics
can be found on the University
of Minnesota Police Web
site.
Student Conduct Code—Matters concerning
student conduct are addressed by the University's Student
Conduct Code rather than by Graduate School policies. The
code applies both to academic and non-academic misconduct.
Alleged violations involving graduate students in either
instance are governed by the procedures outlined in the
code itself. Allegations of non-academic misconduct by
graduate students are dealt with directly by the University's
conduct code coordinator. See Section 5 of the Student
Conduct Code.
Because the Graduate School does not use a scholastic-standing
committee or a disciplinary committee, responsibility for
a full hearing concerning alleged academic misconduct by
a graduate student most often lies with the department
or program in which the student is majoring. When the alleged
misconduct occurs in a course originating from a department
or program outside of the student's major, and the matter
cannot be satisfactorily be resolved by the instructor,
the allegation is forwarded to the conduct code coordinator
for possible referral to a University disciplinary agency.
