Every month, we distribute a “Title IX Recap,” providing a highlight of the previous month’s litigation, advocacy, and other Title IX-related matters. As always, more information on any lawsuits by accused students or Title IX OCR resolutions will be found in our Accused Students Database and OCR Resolutions Database respectively.
