(Excerpts from The Chronicle of Higher Education)

• Less than a year after colleges scrambled to carry out sweeping new requirements for handling sexual-misconduct cases, campus officials will have to prepare for yet another round of Title IX changes.
• The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights announced on Tuesday that it would review the Title IX regulations put in place last August by the Trump administration’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos. The rules — which interpret Title IX, the federal gender-equity law — ramped up protections for students accused of sexual misconduct by requiring accusers to be cross-examined at a live hearing, among other things.
• The Education Department’s civil-rights office is reviewing “existing regulations, orders, guidance, policies, and any other similar agency actions” on Title IX. The civil-rights office will also hold a multiday public hearing at which people can offer comments, in oral or written form.
• The office also plans to release a new guidance document, a “Q&A,” that will tell colleges how the agency plans to enforce the current Title IX rules while the review is in progress.
