Title IX and Sexual Misconduct Policies and Procedures
The following information regarding Title IX is summative in nature for the purposes of this
Handbook. Denver Seminary's policies and procedures regarding sexual misconduct can be found in
their entirety in the Sexual Misconduct Policies and Procedures Manual here. Individuals should
consult this document for full reference.
Sexual misconduct encompasses a broad range of actions commonly represented by unwanted sexual
activity, touching, or behavior. More specifically, sexual misconduct refers to physical sexual acts
perpetrated against a person's will or where a person is incapable of giving consent due to
incapacitation. 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. Attempting any of the above described behaviors is
also sexual misconduct. Detailed definitions and descriptions of sexual misconduct and sexual
violence are provided in the Denver Seminary Sexual Misconduct Policy and Procedure Manual
(Section V).
