University Policy

Sexual misconduct is prohibited at Butler University. Our approach to responding to sexual misconduct in our community is informed by our mission, vision, and values, and governed by federal law, including Title IX.

Two policies guide the University’s response to sexual misconduct: The Butler University Sexual Misconduct Policy and The Butler University Non-Discrimination Policy. Below, you will find each policy in full, as well as documents that summarize key points or processes contained in the policies.
