Equal Opportunity Policy in Publications
for the Attention of Students

The University has adopted the following two statements of its equal opportunity policy for inclusion in all publications distributed to students, including the catalogs and applications of the various divisions.

Catalogs and Longer Publications:

The Johns Hopkins University admits students of any race, color, gender, religion, age, national or ethnic origin, disability, marital status or veteran status to all of the rights, privileges, programs, benefits, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the University. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, marital status, pregnancy, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or other legally protected characteristic in any student program or activity administered by the University, including the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other University- administered programs or in employment.

Questions regarding Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504 should be referred to the Office of Institutional Equity, Garland Hall 130, Telephone: (410) 516-8075, (TTY): (410) 516-6225.

Policy on the Reserve Officer Training Corps.
Defense Department policies regarding sexual orientation in ROTC programs conflict with this University policy. Because ROTC is a valuable component of the University that provides an opportunity for many students to afford a Hopkins education, to train for a career, and to become positive forces in the military, the University, after careful study, has continued its ROTC program, but encourages a change in federal policy that brings it into conformity with the University's policy.

Limited Space Publications (Brochures, Applications, etc.):

The Johns Hopkins University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin, disability, marital status or veteran status in any student program or activity administered by the University, or with regard to admission or employment. Defense Department policies regarding sexual orientation in ROTC programs conflict with this University policy. The University continues its ROTC program, but encourages a change in the Defense Department Policy.

Questions regarding Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504 should be referred to the Office of Institutional Equity, Garland Hall 130, Telephone: (410) 516-8075, (TTY): (410) 516-6225.
