We want to remind you that George Fox University is committed to providing a Christ-centered community that fosters a safe living, learning and work setting for students, employees and visitors. A core value of this institution is to maintain a respectful environment for all individuals that is free of the following:
These behaviors and actions are contrary to the mission, values and lifestyle standards of our community. It is our firm belief that engaging in any aspect of this behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated by members of the George Fox community.
Should an incident of this nature occur, the person is strongly encouraged to report the incident to university personnel. For further descriptions of these policies, resources for support, and the process for reporting please visit studenthandbook.georgefox.edu.
There have been some questions about which employees are considered “responsible employees” or “mandatory reporters” with regard to sexual misconduct under Title IX. Please refer to the materials in the orange folder that you should have received at the beginning of the year.
In that packet is a sheet titled “Employee Responsibilities Regarding Sexual Misconduct Response.” The first paragraph notes that “All staff and faculty are required to promptly report to the Title IX Coordinator (or Deputy Coordinators) information they have about possible sexual harassment or sexual misconduct at George Fox University, including but not limited to sexual assault, domestic or dating violence, and stalking. The only exception for mandatory reporting is the Spiritual Life Office and the Health & Counseling Center.”
Please contact the Title IX Coordinator (Brad Lau) or Deputy Coordinators (Lisa Burton, Elise Trask, Laura Hartley, Rebecca Hernandez, Jen Macnab or Mark Pothoff) if you have questions.
