Questions regarding access to programs following Title VI, Title IX, and
Section 504 should be referred to the Affirmative Action Officer, 205
Garland Hall, (410) 516-8075.
Policy on the Reserve Officer Training Corps. Present Department of
Defense policy governing participation in university-based ROTC programs
discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation. Such discrimination is
inconsistent with the Johns Hopkins University non-discrimination 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 decided to continue the ROTC program and to
encourage a change in federal policy that brings it into conformity with
the University's policy.
