Despite expectations that the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) would release new Title IX regulations last fall, the final version of the new Title IX rule was not issued until half a year later on May 6, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of state attorneys general filed a suit seeking an injunction to prevent the new regulations from being implemented on the proposed date of Aug. 14. However, on Aug. 12, federal District Court Judge Carl Nichols denied the injunction, and both secondary and post-secondary educational instructions are now required to conform their Title IX policies and procedures to the new regulations.
