About
On July 12, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education published proposed Title IX regulations for public comment.

Community + Values in partnership with the Office of Equal Opportunity & Title IX will be hosting a C+V Special Edition Community Talk to discuss the proposed Title IX regulations, what it means for our community, and how community members can provide feedback to the Department of Education. Provost Mary Clark will moderate a panel discussion focused on the proposed changes and their anticipated impact.
