Two University Policies to Take Effect
11/03/2020
Two policies are now active after completing the University policy approval process.
About the Policies
Title IX Sexual Misconduct Policy
In November 2018, the US. Department of Education (DOE) released a Notice of Proposed Rule Making and began the public comment and revision process in order to formalize a new regulation governing Title IX. On May 6, 2020, the DOE released this Final Rule with an implementation date of August 14, 2020. The Sexual Misconduct Policy 7.0 has been revised into the Title IX Policy to allow SLU to adopt the new required federal regulations.
This policy applies to all forms of sexual harassment, including sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, gender-based stalking, as well as retaliation by or against university community members of any gender, gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation (collectively referred to as Prohibited Conduct).
This policy provides information related to:
- Saint Louis University Statement of Values;
- Privacy and Confidentiality;
- Effective Consent;
- Prohibited Conduct;
- Reporting Options, Resources and Accommodations;
- Grievance Procedures; and
- Programing and Training for Students, Faculty and Staff.
Title IX Sexual Misconduct Policy
Individual Outside Interest Policy
Saint Louis University, including its researchers, health professionals, and institutional officials, must balance many competing interests. The University and its members engage in relationships with a variety of external entities that may lead to individual financial benefit. Individual benefits include compensation, business ventures, royalty payments, and equity from licensing intellectual property. Such relationships with external entities are expected and add value to the University's educational, research, and business activities. However, in some cases, an individual outside interest may overlap with institutional responsibilities, and this overlap creates a conflict of interest (COI).
The intent of this policy is not to prohibit or discourage individual outside interests, but, as much as possible, to ensure transparency and promote objectivity by managing any COI. This ensures conflicts of interest do not compromise the integrity of the University's primary missions, including the safety and integrity of its research, education, clinical care, and business activities.
