Statement on Non-Discrimination, Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct

Indiana State University is committed to inclusive excellence. To further this goal, the university does not tolerate discrimination in its programs or activities on the basis of: race, color, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, veteran status, or any other protected class. Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 in particular prohibits discrimination based on sex in any educational institution that receives federal funding. This includes sexual violence, sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. If you witness or experience any forms of the above discrimination, you are asked to report the incident immediately to Public Safety: 812-237-5555 or to the Equal Opportunity & Title IX Office: 812-237-8954.

With respect to sexual discrimination, instructors, faculty, and some staff are required by law and institutional policy to report what you share with them to the Equal Opportunity & Title IX Office. You do, however, have the option of sharing your information with the following confidential resources on campus that are not required to share:

  • ISU Student Counseling Center: 812-237-3939; Gillum Hall, 2nd Floor
  • Women’s Resource Center/Victim Advocate: 812-237-3829; HMSU 7th Floor
  • Associate Dean of Students/Respondent Advocate: 812-237-3829; HMSU 8th Floor
