Welcome to our second edition of The Academic Advisor - our e-newsletter focused on education law insights. We hope you enjoyed our first issue and found it helpful. Our aim is to support the work that you do by bringing newsworthy issues to your attention and explaining their legal significance.

As predicted in our first edition, on June 23, 2022, the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the United States Department of Education released newly proposed Title IX regulations that would substantially amend key features of the 2020 regulations issued under former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. On July 12, 2022, the Biden administration published the proposed Title IX regulations in the Federal Register, commencing a 60-day public comment period. Due to the significance of these actions, we have highlighted Title IX in our second edition with several articles covering this topic. While the status quo remains until the newly proposed regulations are finalized and take effect, we encourage you to be thinking ahead about the ways your policies and procedures may need to change, and how your campus would launch a mid-academic year rollout, should that become necessary.
