Health and Safety

If you report sexual misconduct, Fort Lewis College can support your safety needs by:

  • Giving you options for changing your academic schedule or on-campus housing;
  • Issuing no-contact directives for Fort Lewis College community members;
  • Prohibiting retaliation for your report or for your participation in a criminal or college disciplinary process. Those found violating our anti-retaliation policy will be sanctioned;
  • Helping you to access a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) exam at Mercy Regional Medical Center. FLC Police can transport you to Mercy for the SANE exam.  Funds are available to pay for the exam.
  • Victims can choose to receive care and have evidence collected without making a report to law enforcement.
  • Discussing other options, depending on your needs and the circumstances.

FLC Disciplinary Process

If you wish and Fort Lewis College agrees to pursue the incident as a disciplinary matter:

  • The College will make every effort to resolve the matter in a timely manner and in accordance with your wishes.
  • Retaliation against a participant in a disciplinary or criminal matter will not be tolerated.
  • The College will keep participants in a disciplinary matter informed as it progresses.
  • Participants in a disciplinary matter can choose to provide information to an investigator or a hearing body without seeing or hearing from individual(s) accused of sexual misconduct.
