For nearly six years and since October 2019, Title IX for All has been publishing regular “Title IX Recaps” summarizing recent Title IX litigation, advocacy, policy, and occasionally broader institutional and cultural issues. The main purpose of these Recaps was to keep the community abreast of trends related to litigation brought by accused students in Title IX grievance procedures. They were deliberately light on opinionizing, since providing information has always been our primary goal.

After the litigation movement succeeded in establishing federal regulations that provided greater fairness to accused students in 2020, however, the rate of new filings began to decline. In 2024, new Title IX regulations that rolled back these protections threatened to reverse this trend, but they were ultimately vacated. The movement for fairness for accused students and teachers was victorious.

As a result, annual filings of accused student litigation in state and federal courts have been roughly half of what they were at their peak in 2017-2018 for the past two years. Additionally, transgender issues – which Title IX for All will generally remain neutral on as they are not our core focus – have dominated much of the Title IX spotlight for the past several years.

Cumulatively, these factors have led me to indefinitely suspend our monthly Recaps. The current idea is to replace them with more long-form blog posts and other forms of published content (perhaps YouTube videos) that more thoroughly address specific issues.

Thank you to everyone who has followed our Title IX Recaps. We are certainly not done talking about the issues; we are only changing how we talk about them.
