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.

11. Promptness

All reports of sexual misconduct are acted upon promptly by the College once it has received actual knowledge or a Formal Complaint. Typically, Formal Complaints can take 60-90 business days from receipt of a Formal Complaint to resolve. There may be exceptions and extenuating circumstances that could cause a resolution to take longer, but the College will avoid all undue delays within its control. 

Whenever the general timeframes for resolution outlined in the College’s procedures will be delayed, the College will provide written notice to the parties of the delay and an estimate of the anticipated additional time that will be needed as a result of the delay.
