Review SLU's Policy for the Protection of Minors, which mandates that certain measures be taken for the protection of persons under the age of eighteen (18) years ("minors") who are participating in programs held on the University's campuses, or programs under the direction or control of the University regardless of location. The policy applies to the members of the University faculty, staff, student body and volunteers, and the members of outside organizations who are engaged in the conduct of a program that serves or incudes minors.
Saint Louis University prohibits discrimination based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, or veteran status. In addition to these federally protected classes and based on our Catholic values and tradition, we are committed to protecting the dignity of each person and therefore extend our non-discrimination policy to include sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. All University policies, practices, and procedures are administered in a manner consistent with our Catholic Jesuit identity.
