Round-up: Education Department Unveils Title IX Rewrite - April 19
The long-awaited Biden Administration rewrite of Title IX regulations were released today by the Department of Education. The new regulations encompass sweeping changes to the federal civil rights law prohibiting sex-based discrimination at government-funded schools including colleges and universities. Colleges and universities have until August 1, 2024 to update policies for the fall semester.
After more than a year of delays and mounting pressure from advocacy groups, the final changes appear similar to what was proposed in June 2022 and significantly alter how colleges and universities respond to reports of sexual harassment and assault and expand protections for LGBTQ+ and pregnant students. The new rules also reinstitute protections for student survivors of sexual assault and harassment that were rolled back during the Trump administration, will take effect Aug. 1.
Below is a sampling of news reports on the new regulations:
