margin-bottom: 16px;\">On January 9, 2025, a federal district court in Kentucky issued a ruling in one of several lawsuits challenging the 2024 Title IX Regulations. The Court found that the 2024 regulations are unconstitutional and violated the Administrative Procedures Act by being \u201carbitrary and capricious.\u201d As a result of this finding, the court ordered that the 2024 regulations be completely removed from effect, blocking their implementation across the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; margin-bottom: 16px;\">The impact of that ruling is that all schools, including CC, will continue to be subject to the requirements of the 2020 regulations. Because CC was previously subject to an injunction from a separate court preventing our implementation of the 2024 regulations, the recently reviewed Title IX Non-Discrimination policy was drafted with an eye towards continued compliance with the 2020 Title IX regulations. We therefore anticipate that this holding will have little to no effect on the rollout of our new policies and procedures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; margin-bottom: 16px;\">While the holding in this case is disappointing to many, CC has taken steps to prepare ourselves for it. <a style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #4764af;\" href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/r20hxi\/nr5ib5j\/bmdk5q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> The Office for Civil Rights and Title IX<\/a> would like to remind our community that these federal regulations impose only the minimum standards which educational institutions must follow and that we as a community may choose to do better. We will therefore continue to ensure that our policies provide meaningful protections for members of the LGBTQ+ community and those experiencing pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions, despite this holding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; margin-bottom: 16px;\">If you have any questions or concerns, please <a style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #4764af;\" href=\"mailto:titleix@coloradocollege.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">titleix@coloradocollege.edu<\/a>&#8220;&gt; reach out to the Title IX\/Office of Civil Rights for further guidance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">Sincerely,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"row row-4\" style=\"mso-table-lspace: 0; mso-table-rspace: 0; background-color: #fffbf5;\" role=\"presentation\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table class=\"row-content stack\" style=\"mso-table-lspace: 0; mso-table-rspace: 0; background-color: #fffbf5; color: #000; width: 640px; margin: 0 auto;\" role=\"presentation\" border=\"0\" width=\"640\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"column column-1\" style=\"mso-table-lspace: 0; mso-table-rspace: 0; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; background-color: #fffbf5; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px; vertical-align: top; border: 0;\" width=\"100%\">\n<table class=\"heading_block block-1\" style=\"mso-table-lspace: 0; mso-table-rspace: 0;\" role=\"presentation\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pad\" style=\"padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 100%;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0; color: #222; direction: ltr; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 150%; text-align: left; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; mso-line-height-alt: 30px;\"><span class=\"tinyMce-placeholder\" style=\"word-break: break-word;\">David Jensen<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"paragraph_block block-2\" style=\"mso-table-lspace: 0; mso-table-rspace: 0; word-break: break-word;\" role=\"presentation\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pad\" style=\"padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #555; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0; line-height: 150%; text-align: left; mso-line-height-alt: 24px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><em>Assistant VP for Civil Rights and Title IX<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"heading_block block-3\" style=\"mso-table-lspace: 0; mso-table-rspace: 0;\" role=\"presentation\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pad\" style=\"padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; text-align: center; width: 100%;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0; color: #222; direction: ltr; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 150%; text-align: left; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; mso-line-height-alt: 30px;\">Joshua Isringhausen<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"paragraph_block block-4\" style=\"mso-table-lspace: 0; mso-table-rspace: 0; word-break: break-word;\" role=\"presentation\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pad\" style=\"padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #555; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0; line-height: 150%; text-align: left; mso-line-height-alt: 24px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><em>Assistant Director for Civil Rights and Title IX<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"row row-5\" style=\"mso-table-lspace: 0; mso-table-rspace: 0; background-color: #fffbf5;\" role=\"presentation\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- End --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/track\/r20hxi\/nr5ib5j\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Campus Community, On January 9, 2025, a federal district court in Kentucky issued a ruling in one of several lawsuits challenging the 2024 Title IX Regulations.
