New Title IX regulations no longer require coaches to report sexual misconduct
Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education, released new federal regulations that no longer require coaches to report sexual misconduct.
The U.S. Department of Education, led by education secretary Betsy DeVos, announced new Title IX federal regulations that change requirements on who must report sexual assault allegations and how institutions respond to those complaints.
The adjustments, outlined in a 2,033-page document and set to go into effect Aug. 14, no longer require coaches and other employees at colleges and universities to report allegations to the Title IX office. They also give schools a choice in what standard of proof theyd like to follow, bolster protections for the accused and require live hearings and cross examinations.

(22,329 posts)The previous rule generally considered coaches to be mandated reporters. Because of the other requirements a Title IX case can trigger, this change, in a perfect world, gives a trusted coach the discretion to work with the student when told about an allegation without jumping right into a Title IX case.
