The Subcommittee on Sexual Misconduct (SSM) is a hearing body composed of faculty, staff, and students trained to adjudicate allegations of sexual misconduct, which includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. The Subcommittee on Sexual Misconduct also reviews petitions from persons who have been dismissed from the university for disciplinary reasons involving sexual misconduct and are seeking permission to return. For more information, please see Appendix D of the Student Disciplinary Procedures.
