After much anticipation, DeVos’ Title IX regulations have been released. This is a decisive, long-fought win for advocates of due process and fair procedures and will change the Title IX landscape as we have known it. The compliance deadline for the new regulations is August 14, 2020. There is much information to review and discuss over the following days and weeks, so we will be providing a few quick links here.

Dept. of Education:

  1. Overview of Final Regulations
  2. Summary of Major Provisions
  3. Video: Secretary DeVos Announces New Title IX Regulation
  4. The regulations themselves (note: the first ~2,000 pages are a response to comments)

Guides:

 A few things to keep in mind:

  1. These regulations are a step in the right direction, not a cure-all. More work and constant vigilance are needed on all fronts, with regulatory action being one important part. This is a foothold, but the foothold must be protected.
  2. Accuser orgs will oppose the regs by any means available. Several of them already had plans in the works. Expect legal and political challenges and disinformation campaigns. Expect administrators to refuse to implement them, to develop “clever work-arounds,” and so forth.

Now is the time to rally around Title IX professionals, advocates, and families who have worked tirelessly to make this a reality.

We invite you to sign up for our Title IX Legal Database or donate to support our organization. We have used this database to help many families, advocates, and Title IX professionals who have worked in the trenches over the years. We will be expanding the scope of the database soon to accommodate the new regulations, so please stay tuned for more announcements.

Thank you for all your work and attention to this issue. Congratulations!
