TITLE IX LIVE A CONVERSATION WITH SUZANNE GOLDBERG, DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR STRATEGIC OPERATIONS AND OUTREACH AND FORMER ACTING ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR CIVIL RIGHTS 

The Biden Administration has announced its intention to revise the Title IX regulation governing sexual harassment and sexual assault.  Striking a fair balance between accuser and accused is essential since there have been hundreds of lawsuits alleging that schools violated the rights of students.

On January 19, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, join moderator Hampton Conway III and Stop Abuse for Everyone (SAFE) as we welcome Suzanne Goldberg, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Strategic Operations and Outreach and Former Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, for an educational discussion followed by a Q&A regarding the upcoming notice of public rulemaking (NPRM) to amend the current Title IX regulation. 

The Title IX regulation governing sexual harassment and sexual assault in education programs has been under review by the Biden Administration, and the most recent estimate is that the public comment period for the proposed revisions to the regulation will begin in April 2022.  Suzanne Goldberg will describe the regulatory review process, explain how interested parties can participate in the public comment period, and take questions from attendees.

The “Dear Colleague” guidance of the Obama Administration was replaced by a regulation developed under the Trump Administration. The Biden Administration is now developing proposed changes to the regulation.  The new regulation will have important consequences for schools and for both accuser and accused students in determining the process by which allegations are resolved.  SAFE is sponsoring this event for the purpose of educating the public about the administrative process for the creation of any amendments to the current Title IX regulation.  SAFE encourages everyone to take this opportunity to learn about and participate in the administrative process.

This is a free virtual event.  Registration is required at Eventbrite  https://bit.ly/3zyyaRX

For more information, or to early submit a question to be answered by Ms. Goldberg during the event, please visit:   https://stopabuseforeveryone.org/press-room/title-ix-live.html

Stop Abuse For Everyone is a 501(c)(3), tax-exempt, nonprofit educational organization.  Through our educational, media, and training programs, we inform the public about solutions to domestic violence, dating violence, bullying, sibling abuse, and elder abuse.  SAFE offers information, resources, educational brochures, videos, articles, media campaigns, advocacy programs, and a Speakers Bureau.
