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.
As of this posting, the below numbers are our current tallies of lawsuits and resolved investigations as tracked in our Title IX Lawsuits and OCR Investigations databases.
