On January 28, 2025, we shared a recent announcement that a federal court order vacated the 2024 Title IX regulations that were effective in August 2024. On February 4, 2025, the Office for Civil Rights issued a Dear Colleague Letter which stated in pertinent part: "..the binding regulatory framework for Title IX enforcement includes the principles and provisions of the 2020 Title IX Rule and the longstanding Title IX regulations outlined in 34 C.F.R. 106 et seq., but excludes the vacated 2024 Title IX Rule."
To comply with this regulatory directive, the former Title IX Policy and Procedures (effective date August 14, 2020), and related Title IX Training Materials have been republished.
