Possession, sale, use, or distribution of controlled substances, including marijuana, are a violation of federal and state laws and University policy. Students and employees who violate state or federal drug laws will be referred by Strayer University to the appropriate authorities for criminal prosecution and, if convicted, may be subject to suspension, termination, or expulsion from the University. Sexual Assault Programs in sexual assault prevention are offered as part of the campus crime prevention programs. Any person who is a victim of a sex offense should report the incident immediately to appropriate law enforcement authorities, or to campus security or the Campus Coordinator who will assist in notifying these authorities. Preserving evidence for proof of a criminal offense is an important consideration for victims of sexual offenses.
Referral information is available for general counseling and medical attention.
Responsiveness to the needs of crime victims is a University priority. Sexual assault is a crime punishable by both civil and criminal legal action. The Disciplinary Committee adjudicates, at the request of the victim, all cases involving sexual assault in which the alleged perpetrator is a Strayer University student. Strayer University will provide alternatives for a victim's academic situation after an alleged sex offense, if requested by the victim and if alternatives are reasonably available. Strayer University also encourages victims to prosecute alleged perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law.
