Despite considerable investments of time and resources, universities have struggled to develop a uniform approach to addressing student allegations of sexual misconduct on campus. These allegations, if handled improperly, may cause universities to be liable for Title IX violations. The constantly changing Title IX Regulations have made university efforts to address sexual misconduct all the more difficult.

The Biden Administration had announced that it intended to unveil its proposals for Title IX revisions in April 2022. Michael Stratford, “Biden Administration Expects to Unveil Title IX Proposals in April,” Politico (Dec. 15, 2021) (available at https://politi. co/38IUBu8) (the proposals had not been released at press time). The Biden Administration intends to reverse many of the Trump Administration’s 2020 Title IX Regulations and to introduce increased protections for transgender students.
