As of Sept. 22, 2017, the Office for Civil Rights officially withdrew the policy statements and guidance reflected in its April 4, 2011, “Dear Colleague Letter” on sexual violence and its April 29, 2014, Q&A on Title IX and sexual violence. In tandem with its announcement, OCR issued a new Q&A on campus sexual misconduct. The announcement came several weeks after the U.S. secretary of education revealed the Department of Education would undertake a formal rulemaking process on regulations to address campus sexual misconduct under Title IX.
