New Title IX regulations, proposed in the summer of 2022, are delayed. The Department of Education continues to address almost a quarter-million comments submitted during the notice and comment period. Nonetheless, during this waiting period Title IX compliance mandates continue to evolve in complex ways. Title IX regulations that took effect on August 14, 2020 are still in force, yet have been modified by litigation in critical ways; the Biden administration has engaged in significant regulatory enforcement under the prevailing regulations; the Supreme Court has also taken steps that impact Title IX practice on campus.  Professor of Law and practicing attorney Peter Lake, an expert on Title IX and a well-known scholar in higher education law and policy, will provide an important end-of-year update and will look ahead to the future of Title IX compliance in 2024 and beyond.  Do not wait for a Title IX update simply because new regulations are not finalized: 2024 promises to be a signature year in Title IX enforcement.

Join The Leadership and Training Studio and Erin Fischer for a two-day, hands-on, engaging and entertaining seminar. Erin will share how she wrote 90 programs in four and a half years and still has more ideas. (As a matter of fact, she has written eight new courses in three months.) You will learn how to write participant guides, facilitator guides, identify 40 learning methods and understand why you can’t write learning objectives until the end of your course! By the end of the two days, you will have a template for writing consistently and engaging material with ease.
