Sexual assault and harassment
Notre Dame believes that all members of the University community have the right to feel safe and secure, and to be treated with respect and dignity at all times. The University condemns harassment, violence and unjust discrimination of every kind, and asserts that no one in our community should be subject to physical or verbal harassment or abuse. Notre Dame does not tolerate sexual assault or sexual harassment. We are committed to supporting any member of the University community who is affected by sexual assault, sexual harassment, or family and domestic violence.
