Title IX Grievance Rules Raise Due Process Questions

The U.S. Department of Education's (DOE) 2022 proposed Title IX regulations were accompanied by confident claims that their impact would be nothing short of historic. 

After receiving over 239,000 comments, the DOE's anticipated release of the final rule in October has been delayed. The official reasons for the delay are a mystery, but the avalanche of comments has likely led the agency to reconsider important aspects of campus Title IX disciplinary hearings, somewhat awkwardly referred to as grievance procedures.
