VIII. Limited Immunity for Complainants
The Michigan Tech community encourages the reporting of sexual misconduct. Sometimes, complainants are hesitant to report to university officials because they fear that they themselves may be charged with policy violations, such as underage drinking at the time of the incident. It is in the best interests of this community that as many complainants as possible choose to report to university officials. To encourage reporting, Michigan Tech pursues a policy of offering complainants of sexual misconduct limited immunity from being charged for policy violations related to the sexual misconduct incident. While some violations cannot be completely overlooked, Michigan Tech will provide mandated educational options, rather than sanctions, in such cases.
