Denver Seminary's policies and procedures regarding sexual misconduct can be found in their entirety in the Sexual Misconduct Policies and Procedures Manual here.

Intimate partner violence refers to any act of violence or threatened act of violence, sexual or otherwise, against a person who is or has been involved in a sexual, dating, domestic or other intimate relationship with that person.
