Earlier this week, President Biden signed an executive order that directs the Education Department to review Title IX regulations adopted under the Trump Administration.
"We don't expect any immediate changes because the federal regulatory process takes time, but we're monitoring these discussions closely," said Jana Nattermann, Toscano Law Group Title IX attorney.
According to The Washington Post:
"The DeVos regulation released in May spells out due process rights for those accused of harassment or assault, and the former secretary saw it as one of her most significant achievements. But it came under sharp attack from Democrats, women’s groups and others, and as a candidate, Biden signaled he would replace it.
It’s not clear, though, how he will go about it. Unraveling a regulation that is already in place may require a second complex rulemaking process."
Diane Toscano, attorney and firm founder, reassured clients saying, "Title IX is a dynamic area of the law. But our lawyers practiced Title IX law under Obama-era rules; we adapted our approach to cases under Trump-era rules; and we'll continue to adapt in order to effectively represent our clients in Title IX cases during President Biden's term in office."
