Sexual Misconduct
Sexual relationships were created by God to be experienced solely within a marriage between husband and wife as defined by the Scriptures. North Greenville University’s statement on human flourishing explains this further. Sexual relations of any kind outside of marriage are prohibited by the university. Inappropriate public displays of affection that may cause offense or distraction to others, at the sole discretion of the university, are prohibited. Violations of this policy may lead to university sanctions. Furthermore, the university is committed to providing an environment free from sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual violence. Sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual violence by any member of the university community is a violation of university policy and will not be tolerated. Both males and females can be victims, and both males and females can be perpetrators of these actions. Incidents of sexual harassment, sexual assault, or sexual violence will be addressed using the guidelines set forth by Title IX of the US Education Amendments, VAWA, local and state statutes, and the university. More information regarding Title IX can be obtained here.
We encourage single students to live pure, celibate lives, and married students to be faithful to their marriage and their spouse. The university offers non-disciplinary confidential counseling and Christ-based support through the Office of Student Health to students who may be struggling with any sexual issue, concern, or deviant behavior.
