ATIXA (Association of Title IX Administrators)

This edition of Title IX Today is brought to you by Mikiba W. Morehead, Ed.D. Explore the latest highlights, including efforts to block Title IX rules in over 400 K-12 schools, updates on the delayed Title IX athletic regulations, and a summary of state lawsuits challenging the Biden administration's Title IX rule. #TitleIX

K-12 Dive recently highlighted Kayleigh Baker, J.D., a Senior Consultant at TNG Consulting and a member of the ATIXA Advisory Board, in an article discussing the 2024 Final Rule: “If I were Title IX coordinator at a district or an assistant superintendent... I’d want to be warning folks that we might see a lot more cases than we’re used to. That doesn’t necessarily mean our school district is less safe... but I think that that’s going to be a result of these regulations.” https://hubs.li/Q02HRvxF0

TNG Consulting Senior Consultant and ATIXA Advisory Board member Kayleigh Baker, J.D., was recently interviewed for K-12 Dive and insightfully shared, "It’s not limited to states that already have an injunction, or even states that have filed litigation against Title IX. This is really uncharted territory when it comes to Title IX regulations. It’s really coming school-by-school.” Read the article here: https://hubs.li/Q02H6VZG0

Wild times this summer. Our ATIXA Regs Injunction Tracker (scroll down to see the map) is tracking the progress of injunctions coming down in the various lawsuits, and you can also find the two lists of K-12 schools and higher ed institutions that are "on the list" in the Kansas suit. Let us know if we can help to make sense of all of this and what it means for your specific institution/school! https://lnkd.in/eQhSkNXU

Congratulations to Alisha Carter Harris, M.S., a Senior Consultant at TNG Consulting, on delivering a powerful presentation at Louisiana State University's #TitleIX Conference.

Over 670 institutions across the U.S. are facing a temporary injunction against the 2024 Regulations. In a recent conversation with Inside Higher Ed, Brett Sokolow, J.D., described this move as a "clever legal strategy" aimed at achieving a nationwide injunction, precisely what organizations like Young America’s Foundation, Female Athletes United, and Moms for Liberty were striving for. Sokolow added, "I wouldn’t be surprised to see the number of institutions affected by this injunction double or even triple. They could effectively serve as the equivalent of a nationwide ban."
