Sexual misconduct can be committed by men or women and it can occur between people of the same or different sex. AEU considers sexual misconduct in any form to be a serious violation of the Christlike conduct expected from all members of its community.
AEU's Title IX Coordinator oversees the implementation of AEU's Policy Against Sexual Misconduct; provides training, including a course for all employees and students on preventing discrimination and sexual violence; coordinates discrimination and sexual misconduct investigations to ensure they are fair and equitable; makes sure appropriate remedies or measures are provided to impacted students and employees; and facilitates the writing and updating of relevant policies.
