On April 19, 2024, the U.S. Department of Education Releases Final Title IX Regulations, Providing Vital Protections Against Sex Discrimination. In addition to the rules, the DOE issued a fact sheet, analysis of changes, and sample policies. For a look at the major changes to the law and a few resources open the newsletter below.

The draft Title IX rules were issued by the DOE almost two years ago in June of 2022 for public comment. Consistent with standard practice, the DOE released 1520 pages of ‘comments and analysis’ with the final rules.

While not carrying the force and effect of law, the ’comments and analysis’ section offers a fascinating look at the public discourse surrounding Title IX and gives insight into how the DOE and Office for Civil Rights will interpret various provisions contained in Title IX.

The amended Title IX rules consist of 57 pages and will go into effect on August 1, 2024.
