Sexual Violence and Harassment Policy

Saint Mary’s University is committed to ending Sexual Violence and Harassment in all forms in the University Community. Sexual Violence and Harassment undermines the full, free and safe participation of all members of the University Community by creating intimidating, hostile and/or unsafe living, learning, and working conditions, environments and experiences, which can negatively impact an individual’s academic and/or employment performance and status. 

Saint Mary’s University is committed to maintaining a positive and respectful learning, living and working environment that respects the rights of all Saint Mary’s University community members to learn, study, live and work free from Sexual Violence and Harassment.
