Statement Regarding Sexual Misconduct at Texas Tech University

Texas Tech University has developed standards of behavior pertaining to students and to registered student organizations. Student conduct on or off university premises is subject to university judicial jurisdiction. University judicial proceedings may be instituted against a student alleged to have violated the Code of Student Conduct and/or Student Handbook.

Any student(s) found to have committed the following misconduct while classified as a student is subject to disciplinary sanctions, conditions and/or restrictions.

Sexual misconduct, according to the Code of Student Conduct, involves

  1. Deliberate touching of another’s sexual anatomy without consent.
  2. Deliberate sexual invasion of another without consent.
  3. Deliberate constraint or incapacitation of another without the person’s knowledge or consent, so as to put another at a substantially increased risk of sexual injury.
  4. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual  nature that expressly or implicitly imposes conditions upon, threatens, interferes with, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or demeaning environment for an individual’s (I) academic pursuits, (II) university employment, (III) participation in activities sponsored by the university or organizations or groups related to the university, or (IV) opportunities to benefit from other aspects of university life.

To file an alleged Code of Student Conduct violation, against a student or student organization, individuals may meet with a university official and deliver a written allegation describing the action or behavior to Student Judicial Programs.  For the complete Code of Student Conduct, please see Part IX of the Student Handbook at www.studentaffairs.ttu.edu.

Sexual assault is also a form of sexual harassment. If the act is made as a condition or term of participation in a University class or program, or in return for a grade (quid pro quo) or if the act has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with a student’s educational environment, a student may utilize the sexual harassment grievance procedures outlined in the Student Handbook and in OP 10.09. Contact the Dean of Students office to proceed.
