Disagreement over Title IX is One Reason for HEA Reauthorization Delay

Inside Higher Education is reporting this morning that disagreements on how Title IX should be enforced on college campuses has become a roadblock on the path to the long-overdue reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. From Inside Higher Education: "One of the biggest sticking points in negotiations, according to several individuals with knowledge of discussions, is addressing how colleges should handle complaints of sexual misconduct on campus... Federal guidance under the Obama administration discouraged cross-examination of complainants, but a proposal from the Trump administration would require colleges to allow it." The Trump administration's Title IX regulations are expected to be released later this year.
