UPDATE 4/11/2024: The OMB has completed its review of the new #TitleIX rule and and has cancelled the remaining meetings that were publicly posted, ranging from today to April 18th. The publication of the final rule is likely within the next 45 days.
The Department of Education has submitted the final version of its Title IX rule to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), one of the last steps before the final rule can be published and go into effect. In February, OMB began taking meetings from the public to hear feedback on the rule. That window is still open.
As you are likely aware, the new Title IX rule aims to roll back key due process provisions that helped curb the ability of schools to railroad accused students in sham proceedings. I encourage those concerned about due process and the balance of rights between complainants and respondents in Title IX proceedings to sign up for a meeting with OMB and tell them what you think. To set up a meeting, simply go to this link, click on Request EO Meeting, and follow the instructions. Meetings can be done by phone or virtually.
When I meet with them, I will submit several of the arguments I have already made to the Department of Education along with some new arguments and data. If you are considering meeting with OMB, feel free to use the following information:
- This guide from the Ethics and Public Policy Center
- This recent post explaining how the due process provisions of the 2020 Title IX regulations were successful
- My comment to the Department of Education
- Arguments from attorneys and other advocates well-versed in these matters
