The Biden-Harris administration has just announced that the release of the Title IX final rule will be postponed until October, giving us all more time to prepare and raising interesting questions about the ease of schools making such adjustments in the middle of an academic year, the effective date of the new regulations, and so forth.
When the final rule is released, it will no doubt reflect much of the anti-due process measures embodied in the draft version. But with the effective date being moved back nearly half a year, accused students will be afforded these due process protections a while longer.
For us in particular, this news is a relief. For nearly six months, we have been quietly working at a breakneck pace on our largest-yet development project affecting all our databases (more TBA), hoping to release it around the time of the final rule’s release. We have done so under the precaution that the release of new regs could set off a chain of events that would close the window on a lot of our development time.
While we won’t be slowing down our work, we are relieved to learn that we will be five months more prepared.
