Newly released Title IX regulations
On May 6, 2020, the Department of Education published the final version of the Title IX regulations.
The final regulations specify how schools, colleges, and other Federally funded institutions must respond going forward to allegations of sexual harassment.

- the prohibition of punishment for exercising rights under Title IX.
These Title IX regulations become effective August 14, 2020.
