• The FL Board of Governors put The U.S. Department of Education said Friday it expects to release in April its proposed regulation governing Title IX, the federal law banning sex discrimination and violence in educational settings. 
• This means the department plans on issuing the draft version of the rule a month earlier than initially anticipated. The final iteration will dictate policies for how colleges must investigate and potentially punish reports of sexual misconduct. 
• However, the adjusted timeline did not please some advocates for sexual assault survivors, who had demanded the Biden administration unveil its proposal even earlier. A coalition of six groups wanted it by October of this year. 
• Know Your IX, a prominent advocacy group, said on Twitterthat a new rule wouldn't likely come into effect until the 2022-23 academic year under the Biden administration's current timetable. 
• "It’s unacceptable that survivors have been forced to wait for protections that the Biden Admin should have given us months ago," Know Your IX said on Twitter.
