On Wednesday, January 30, the JSGA signed onto a comment to the Department of Education regarding the new Title IX proposed regulations spear-headed by Shanta Katipamula, the Student Body President at Stanford University. Of the 76 schools that signed, 24 were Jesuit institutions and members of the Jesuit Student Government Alliance, including Rockhurst University.

The decision to sign came after significant reflection and conversation to deeply understand the proposed policy changes in an unbiased way. It is of my concern, as well as Student Senate, and the AJCU's, that there would be a possible chilling effect from these changes, leading to fewer people reporting their experiences of harassment and assault and a threat to ensuring an equitable process.
