As your instructor, one of my responsibilities is to create a positive learning environment for all students. IU policy prohibits sexual misconduct in any form, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, sexual exploitation, and dating and domestic violence. If you have experienced sexual misconduct, or know someone who has, the University can help. If you are seeking help and would like to speak to someone confidentially, you can make an appointment with the Deputy Director for Sexual Misconduct and Title IX Coordinator, afaction@iun.edu, 219.980.6705.
It is also important that you know that University policy requires me to share certain information brought to my attention about potential sexual misconduct, with the campus Deputy Sexual Misconduct & Title IX Coordinator or the University Sexual Misconduct & Title IX Coordinator. In that event, those individuals will work to ensure that appropriate measures are taken and resources are made available. Protecting student privacy is of utmost concern, and information will only be shared with those that need to know to ensure the University can respond and assist. I encourage you to visit stopsexualviolence.iu.edu to learn more.
Indiana University also prohibits discrimination on the basis of age, color, disability, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status. If you feel like you have experienced discrimination or harassment, please contact Lita M. Pener, Director and Deputy Sexual Misconduct & Title IX Coordinator for the Office of Institutional Equity at lmpener@nwoietix@iun.edu or Beth Tyler, Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and Dean of Students at nwdos@iun.edu.
Indiana University is committed to creating welcoming, inclusive, and respectful campus communities where everyone can thrive and do their best work—a place where all are treated with civility and respect. If you experience or witness an incident of bias, you should report it. For more information, see Student Incident Reporting.
Indiana University is dedicated to ensuring that students with disabilities (e.g., chronic health, neurodevelopmental, neurological, sensory, psychological & emotional, including mental health, etc.) have the support services and reasonable accommodations needed to provide equal access to academic programs. To request an accommodation, you must establish your eligibility by working with IU Northwest’s Disability Support Services. Additional information can be found at accessibility.iu.edu. Note that services are confidential, may take time to put into place, and are not retroactive; captions and alternate media for print materials may take three or more weeks to get produced. Please contact your campus office as soon as possible if accommodations are needed
Pregnant students seeking temporary program adjustments or other information about support services may contact the Dean of Students at (219) 981-5660.
To request approval for a medically necessary absence contact the Director of Student Support Services at (219) 980-6942.
A classroom is analogous to a professional environment. Students are expected to behave professionally so that everyone can engage fully in the educational process, which means that disruptive behavior during class is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, arguing with the instructor about grades or assignments, arguing with other students, bringing up individual concerns with the instructor in the middle of class, or using language or exhibiting other behavior that distracts others from engaging fully in the academic enterprise. A student who disrupts the learning environment will be asked to stop the behavior immediately; if the disruptive behavior continues, the student will be asked to leave the class session.
