The U.S. Department of Education recently released its updated final regulations enforcing Title IX which will govern sex discrimination complaints regarding conduct that occurs on or after August 1, 2024.  The new rules expand the definition of sexual assault and harassment.  This means schools could investigate more cases of discrimination, abuse, or harassment filed by people on campus under the scope of the law.  The 2024 Regulations also redefine “sexual harassment” as “sex-based harassment.”
