The University is committed to maintaining learning and working environments that are free from all forms of discrimination and harassment. Each member of the community is responsible for fostering civility, for being familiar with this policy, and for refraining from conduct that violates this policy.
OIE Announcements
Due to a January 9, 2025 federal court decision, the August 1, 2024 Title IX regulations have been vacated nationwide. As a result, the University was required to revise its policies and procedures that had been based on these now-vacated regulations. In the short term, to ensure prompt compliance, the University issued Revised Interim Sexual Misconduct Policy and Procedures and Revised Interim Discrimination and Harassment Policy and Procedures, both effective January 9, 2025. Going forward, the University will review legal developments and other factors as we consider additional policy and process revisions to best support the JHU community.
If you have an open matter that has been impacted by this development, OIE will contact you regarding next steps. Please contact OIE if you have any questions.
