In June 2022, the U.S. Department of Education released new proposed Title IX regulations, and on July 12 those proposed regulations became open for public comment. The final regulations will be issued once the Department has reviewed the feedback and made revisions or otherwise addressed the comments in the preamble to the regulations.
Once the final Title IX rule is published and the implementation date known, schools will want to revise policies and procedures to align with applicable law. Grand River Solutions looks forward to working with your Title IX team to support your school’s efforts to update your policies and procedures to be consistent with the new regulations, best practices, and your community’s expectations and culture.
