Colleges and universities are well-acquainted with the 2020 Title IX regulations implemented by the first Trump administration. However, the setting has changed. State laws that differ in key areas such as due process and gender identity directly conflict with federal law. The current Trump administration has made clear through Executive Orders and enforcement that gender identity is a key focus, forcing institutions to grapple with maintaining inclusive campuses while not running afoul of the law. Additionally, there is a patchwork of caselaw across the United States on various Title IX issues. Against this complex backdrop, campus counsel and Title IX coordinators balance supporting their campus community on sensitive Title IX matters while protecting the institution from legal risk.
Please join us for this 2-hour webinar where presenters will cover:
- The current state of the law, including conflicts between federal and state law;
- Enforcement against schools with gender inclusive policies;
- Thorny issues related to policies in hot button areas, such as housing and bathrooms; and
- Timely hypotheticals.
Who Should Attend?
This webinar will be of interest to college and university counsel who advise on Title IX, as well as campus administrators with responsibilities related to this area of the law.
