Summary: The new regulations have broadened the scope of what constitutes sex discrimination and sex-based harassment prohibited by Title IX, and have eliminated the requirement that complaints of sexual harassment are handled under a separate process. Instead, all claims of any type of sex discrimination, including sex-based harassment, will now be addressed using the process described in new policy 1725/4035/7236, Title IX Sex Discrimination – Prohibited Conduct and Grievance Procedures. That policy replaces old policy 1725/4035/7236, Title IX Sexual Harassment – Prohibited Conduct and Reporting Process, as well its accompanying administrative regulation 1725/4035/7236-R, Title IX Sexual Harassment – Definitions, and policy 1726/4036/7237, Title IX Sexual Harassment Grievance Process. The requirements of the new Title IX regulations also necessitate substantive changes to policy 1720/4030/7235, Title IX Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex, and policy 4023/7233, Pregnant and Parenting Students and Employees. The new Title IX regulations are scheduled to go into effect on August 1, 2024.
