2024 Title IX Final Rule
2024 Title IX Final Rule Update
On Monday, April 29, 2024, the Department of Education officially published a new Final Rule updating the requirements for colleges and universities – including Loyola – to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational programs receiving federal financial assistance. The new regulations are effective and applicable as of August 1, 2024.
A brief overview of key provisions in the Final Rule can be found here: Summary of Major Provisions of the Department of Education’s Title IX Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (PDF)
The Office for Equity & Compliance (OEC), which administers Title IX’s requirements at Loyola, has been preparing for these anticipated regulatory changes since 2022, collecting student feedback that has informed policy decisions and will continue to inform communications and programming throughout the 2024-2025 academic year. Through participation in NASPA’s Culture of Respect initiative, the OEC and various campus partners have hosted focus groups and community forums, engaged with student organizations, and administered a campuswide “SPEAK UP” survey, all of which have provided helpful insights about how best to meet the needs of our campus community.
As of August 1, 2024, the University's Comprehensive Policy has been updated and the most current version has been published and is in effect. Students or employees with questions or who are interested in more information are welcome to contact the OEC at equity@luc.edu or by calling 773-508-7766.
