At Wheaton College, it is priority that all reports of alleged sexual and gender-based misconduct are responded to with fairness and care. To ensure compliance with federal, state and local laws, Wheaton has developed two adjacent policies regarding response to sexual and gender-based misconduct. These policies ensure Wheaton’s ability to appropriately and consistently respond to allegations of sexual and gender-based misconduct, regardless of where incidents are alleged to have occurred.
Incidents that are alleged to have occurred within the College’s education programs or activities (ie: on-campus, at a College-sponsored trip or event) and therefore fall within the jurisdiction of Title IX, please see this policy:
Title IX Sexual and Gender-based Misconduct Policy for Students
Incidents of sexual and gender-based misconduct that fall outside of College education programs or activities (ie: off-campus, a non-College affiliated event) and therefore fall outside of the jurisdiction of Title IX, please see this policy:
