The New Title IX Rules: Practical Applications for University Policies and Procedures for Summer 2024

By now, you are likely up to speed on the Department of Education’s new Title IX regulations governing sex discrimination.

Schools’ implementation window is short, as the new regulations take effect August 1, 2024. It is critical that schools start the implementation process now.

Please join attorneys from Barnes & Thornburg's Higher Education Practice for a webinar on the practical points of the rule, and how to achieve compliance quickly: policy implementation, practical considerations, and avoiding pitfalls.

Although the intent to protect students and employees from sex discrimination remains the same as in 1972 (when Title IX became law), the obligations on schools and their leaders keep changing. This webinar will provide a roadmap for navigating the new landscape and pinpointing best practices for reviewing and drafting policies and training, including:

• Tailoring policies to factor in the broader definition of “sex and sex-based harassment”
• Evaluating current policies and procedures to address off-campus incidents
• Ensuring adequate training procedures are in place for employees and students
• Revisiting existing grievance policies to fit the new rules

1.0 hour CLE credit pending.
