According to Peter Lake, a Title IX expert and Stetson University professor of law, Goldberg’s main focus in the OCR will be to bridge the gap between the diverging Title IX policies of the Trump and Biden administrations and to clarify federal guidelines that colleges will follow moving forward.
“Job number one is to try to figure out how the Biden administration’s objectives translate into connecting with prior OCR guidance and dealing with the Trump administration’s regulations, commentary, and then of course, the litigation that has gone on out there [and] trying to make sense of it all,” Lake said. “From a legal point of view, it’s a Herculean task.”
