Title IX Coordinator Certification (Higher Ed)
03-24 to 03-27-2025 12:30 PM EST or 05-13 to 05-16-2025 1:00 PM EST
In light of the evolving Title IX regulatory landscape, staying informed about the latest changes is essential. Recent developments have significantly altered Title IX requirements, necessitating expertise and adaptability. As of January 9, 2025, a federal district court in Kentucky vacated the 2024 Title IX regulations nationwide, effectively reinstating the 2020 Title IX regulations across the United States. Educational institutions must now revert to policies and procedures that align with the 2020 framework.
Further, with the inauguration of President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, executive orders have introduced significant changes to Title IX interpretations. These include:
-
Recognition of only two sexes: male and female.
-
Prohibition of federal funds promoting "gender ideology."
- Guidance from the Attorney General stating that gender identity-based protections under Title IX are no longer valid.
These changes undo previous efforts to extend Title IX protections to LGBTQ+ students and require institutions to swiftly adjust their policies to ensure compliance with the current legal environment.
As a Title IX Coordinator, you must possess the ability to resolve grievances, identify discrimination, and create compliant policies and procedures. Mastery of key skills such as policy development, investigative procedures, and compliance assurance is crucial in adapting to these evolving requirements. Securing your Title IX Coordinator certification under the latest regulations ensures your institution remains compliant and protected.
