It does not condemn what institutions are doing. It simply indicates that the current administration does not believe the 2011 letter was done in accordance with regulations and they now intend to do so. The letter today refers to the 2001 guidance for which
most of us used well before the 2011 letter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

responsibility vs. tasks. Question #8 is the most specific and possibly policy changing given the information OCR expects an institution to provide at the onset when some of that information is not available. Given that there are not new regulations and there
are regulations connected to VAWA and Clery as well as Title IX case law, institutions should continue to provide student-centered processes that address issues around potential violation of institutional policy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
