2024 Title IX Changes

Rule making background introductory paragraph over the last two years and how this will require an emergency change to university policy to be compliant by the deadline of August 1, 2024.

CRTC will begin to engage in the following:

• information sessions to the campus community
• have a feedback form on this page
• schedule a series of town hall listening sessions with various stakeholder groups (including sessions open to all WWU, both in-person and live streamed options).

Some parts of the federal rules provide flexibility and options for universities to decide how to implement but there are also Washington state laws that may limit the university’s choices in various ways. The information sessions will aim to explain what is required by law versus what the university has some discretion to determine how to implement. The listening sessions will be focused on gathering input from the campus community on areas where there is discretion to decide how to implement.
