The University established a sexual assault prevention taskforce that met monthly in spring 2016.

In the fall of 2015, the American College Personnel Association created a monograph entitled Beyond Compliance: Addressing Sexual Violence in Higher Education. This monograph prompted a group comprising of students, staff and faculty to become members of the new Loyola University Beyond Compliance Task Force.

Cissy Petty, vice president for student affairs, said the taskforce is “assisting institutions of higher education with moving toward a comprehensive approach to sexual violence prevention.”

Any students wishing to be involved with the group would be able to do so through talking to any of the following organizations: Step UP! Bystander Intervention Program, the Advocacy Initiative, the Take Back the Night planning committee and the Health Advocates.
