Educational institutions are in turmoil trying to assess what these actions mean for current Title IX programs and how the US Department of Education Office for Civil Rights will now monitor and decide compliance. How should institutions and their attorneys respond? This CLE will explain the new guidance as OCR looks forward to drafting and implementing new Title IX regulations.
