Campus Sexual Assault Prevention

The following resources will help colleges and universities navigate the changes mandated by the Department of Education, make necessary modifications to existing university procedures and protocols in order to stay compliant under new regulations, and to assist campuses as they address sexual violence on campus.

Title IX Overhaul

The Department of Education, under the Biden Administration, has announced its intention to make substantive changes to the current Title IX regulations. The Trump Administration had previously made its own set of changes to the handling of campus sexual assault under Title IX. Those regulations took effect August 14, 2020. NACUBO's analysis of those regulatory changes is available here.
