Loyola Today Post from May 2, 2024

The United States Department of Education r eleased the final Title IX rule on April 19, 2024, and the new regulations are scheduled to go into effect on August 1, 2024. Until we implement new policy on August 1, 2024, the University will utilize the policies currently in place.

The Office of Title IX, Compliance, and Assessment will be collaborating with campus constituents over the summer to assess the impact on and make require updates to Loyola University Maryland's existing policies and practices. The University remains committed to providing an environment free of sex discriminiation, and we will continue implementing compliant best practices toward that end. We look forward to sharing updates with you as they become available.

Important Title IX Updates

New regulations from the United States Department of Education, which were scheduled to go into effect on August 1, 2024, have been vacated by a federal district court decision on January 9, 2025. The University will make the necessary adjustments to the policy and process to comply with the most recent government laws, regulations, or court holdings. We will continue to apply the University's Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct Policy for incidents falling under the 2020 Title IX regulation jurisdiction, and the Sex-based Harassment and Discrimination policy for incidents not covered by the 2020 Title IX jurisdiction but falling under the Sex-based Harassment and Discrimination policy. The Office of Title IX and Bias Compliance will provide updates as they become available. The Office of Title IX and Bias Compliance is reviewing and updating policies, and they will be available on the Title IX Policy page. The University remains committed to supporting all members of our community. For questions, please contact titleix-bias@loyola.edu.
