What every student should know
New Federal Guidelines have been implemented here at K-State for responding to reports of rape, sexual assault, and all sexual violence. These changes are in response to the Office of Civil Rights 2011 letter regarding Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in educational institutions.
Rape and all sexual violence are included as severe forms of sexual harassment under Title IX regulations. This means that sexual assaults that occur on campus, at campus-related events, or that impact the campus learning environment must be investigated by the university.
Here at K-State, reports of Title IX violations may be made at the K-State Women's Center in 206 Holton Hall. The Women's Center will report these complaints to the Office of Affirmative Action.
This means that students who want CONFIDENTIALITY and who do not want to make a complaint must utilize our Counseling Services, Lafene, or the off-campus Crisis Center, Inc. However, making a complaint benefits all students and contributes to a safer campus environment.
For more information about Title IX and sexual assault complaints, contact the K-State Women's Center (206 Holton Hall), The Office of Student Life (102 Holton Hall), or the Office of Affirmative Action (214 Anderson Hall).
