Title IX Has Shifted — Is Your Institution Ready?

Major changes to Title IX are forcing colleges and universities to rethink their policies, procedures, and compliance strategies. In higher education, staying ahead of these shifts isn’t just about avoiding liability — it’s about protecting your institution’s reputation, funding, and ability to effectively serve students.

Here’s where things stand:

A recent federal court ruling overturned the most recent Title IX regulations, requiring institutions to revert to the previous rules. Adding to the complexity, new executive orders have reshaped how Title IX applies on campus.

These executive actions:

• Define sex under Title IX strictly as male or female.
• Prohibit federal funding for programs or initiatives promoting "gender ideology."
• Withdraw all federal protections related to gender identity under Title IX.

For colleges and universities, this creates an urgent need to revise policies, retrain staff, and realign grievance procedures to match these new directives.

As a Title IX Coordinator or compliance leader in higher education, your role is more critical than ever. You are responsible for ensuring your institution follows the law, handles complaints appropriately, and avoids costly investigations or funding risks — all while maintaining a campus environment that supports students and meets legal obligations.
