Title IX (Joe's Version) Dropped This Morning

We interrupt your Tortured Poets Department** listening party to inform you that the Biden administration has released its long awaited Title IX rules. The new rules, published this morning in unofficial form, will be formally published in the Federal Register shortly.

In its press release announcing the new rules, the Department also published a fact sheet, a summary of the major provisions of the final regulations, and a resource for drafting Title IX nondiscrimination policies, notices of nondiscrimination, and grievance procedures.

Thompson Coburn's Higher Education team is currently in the process of reviewing the final rules*, including the preamble which provides the Department's response to the significant, relevant issues raised in public comments and a statement providing the basis and the purpose of the rule. We will be providing additional information about the rule and resources for institutions of higher education in the coming weeks.
