The U.S. Department of Education recently released its long‐awaited proposal for new Title IX regulations governing institutional response to reports of sexual harassment and sexual assault. As widely anticipated, the proposed regulations effectively reverse many elements of the Obama administration's Title IX guidance and impose new mandates for live hearings and cross‐examination that will require an overhaul of institutional processes for resolving complaints against students, including student‐athletes. The proposed regulations do not affect current Title IX guidance governing gender equity with respect to the number of sports teams and institutional support for teams. The proposed regulations, which were published in the Federal Register on Nov. 29, 2018, are open for public comment for a period of 60 days before being finalized.
