Title IX Coordinator Certification (Higher Ed)

Title IX Compliance in Higher Ed: Navigating Ongoing Legal Changes

With federal courts reinstating the 2020 Title IX regulations and new executive orders issued by the Trump administration in early 2025 colleges and universities are once again facing shifting and uncertain federal expectations.

This certification training is designed specifically for Title IX Coordinators and administrators in higher education. It provides clear, current guidance on how to stay compliant amid legal reversals and pending federal actions related to sexual harassment, gender identity, athletics, and pregnancy protections.

While the 2024 Biden-era regulations have been rescinded, new executive directives are introducing further changes. Institutions are left weighing what to implement now and how to prepare for additional updates expected later this year.

Led by legal expert Rick Verstegen, this course delivers practical strategies to help you comply with current Title IX rules and stay ready for what comes next.

Outcomes:

  • Apply the reinstated 2020 Title IX regulations to your institution’s policies and procedures.

  • Adjust your approach to athletics, gender identity, and pregnancy accommodations based on 2025 executive orders.

  • Train staff and Title IX team members on investigation standards and grievance requirements.

  • Reduce institutional risk through proactive documentation and timely response.

  • Stay prepared for further changes expected in the coming months under the current administration.
