Recently, headlines have been splashed with the question of whether Title IX proceedings are quasi-judicial and what legal claims parties have based on what occurs during the Title IX process.

Recent court recommendations and comments following this vein provide insight both into how the expected 2023 Title IX regulations, and the prescribed hearings therein, may be classified by the courts and what choices the parties may make in light of that classification.
