Each building will have one entrance designated as an outdoor smoking area. Smoking is not permitted within twenty-five feet of any window or main entrance to a residence hall or apartment. Violators of this policy may jeopardize their on-campus status within the residence system. Latex Allergies Individuals within the campus community are allergic to latex. Latex balloons are not permitted indoors on the campus. Latex balloons placed outdoors can also cause allergies because the latex can be spread by wind.

Sexual Misconduct Policy & Procedures (DIV-007) Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 prohibits any person in the United States from being discriminated against on the basis of sex in seeking access to any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The U.S. Department of Education, which enforces Title IX, has long defined the meaning of Title IX’s prohibition on sex discrimination broadly to include various forms of sexual harassment and sexual violence that interfere with a student’s ability to equally access educational programs and opportunities. On May 19, 2020, the U.S. Department of Education issued a Final Rule under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 19724 that: • Defines the meaning of “sexual harassment” (including forms of sex-based violence), • Addresses how the University must respond to reports of misconduct falling within the definitions of “sexual harassment” under this Policy, and • Mandates a grievance (or resolution) process the University must follow before issuing a disciplinary sanction against a person accused of “sexual harassment” under this Policy. 4 The full text of the Final Rule and its extensive Preamble is available here: http://bit.ly/TitleIXReg
