Columbia University Disciplinary Procedure for Sexual Assault

Columbia University's Policy on Sexual Assault

Columbia University and its affiliates are committed to fostering a healthy and safe environment in which every member of the community can realize his or her fullest potential. Non-consensual sexual conduct and violence - what the University calls sexual assault - can be traumatizing and detrimental to a person's learning experience and total health, and has no place in our community. Sexual assault is a serious problem on college campuses throughout the country.
