Title IX Policy and Procedures

Luther College is committed to creating and maintaining a safe and healthy environment where all members of its community—students, faculty, staff, and visitors—are treated with respect and dignity. Therefore, the College will not tolerate sexual misconduct in any form. Sexual Misconduct is not only an act against an individual; it is also an act that affects the entire Luther College community. Acts of sexual misconduct are inconsistent with our educational mission.

05. Bias and Conflict of Interest

The Title IX Coordinator manages the Title IX Team and acts with independence and authority free from bias and conflicts of interest. The Title IX Coordinator oversees all resolutions under this policy and these procedures. The members of the Title IX Team are appointed and trained to ensure they are not biased for or against any party in a specific case, or for or against Complainants and/or Respondents, generally. 

To raise any concern involving bias, misconduct or conflict of interest by the Title IX Coordinator, contact the Director of Human Resources, Marsha Wenthold, at [email protected] or (563)387-1415. Concerns of bias, a potential conflict of interest, discrimination, or misconduct by any other Title IX Team member should be raised with the Title IX Coordinator.
