Presenter: Peter Lake, Professor of Law and Charles A. Dana Chair and Director, Center for Excellence in Higher Education Law and Policy

On June 23, 2022—the 50^th anniversary of Title IX—the Department of Education issued new proposed Title IX regulations for notice and comment to come. The proposed regulations include greater LGBTQIA protections, stronger pregnant and parenting protections, reconceptualize and expand the definition of harassment, and allow for greater adaptability for recipient grievance process including the use of the single investigator model in some jurisdictions where it may be still allowed. The proposed regulations retain many features of the currently in-force regulations and are sensitive to challenges recipients face in an ever more complex and contentious regulatory environment. The new regulations also track many features of the newly minted guidance from the American Law Institute on sexual misconduct.

Join Professor Peter Lake for this 90-minute webinar discussing the new proposed regulations. We will consider the legal and political landscape in 2022 and beyond, and changes that DOE might make in light of what promises to be an active notice and comment process on the proposed regulations. The webinar will focus on where we may be on the pathway to sustainable Title IX regulation.
