Thank you to the presidents and other campus leaders for joining AICCU in DC. This is a critical time to reinforce that higher ed is #worthit and student access must be protected to support our future, our economy, our economy.

Biden's Title IX rule is effectively done. It's been implemented hodgepodge across the states (and even within states) but now it's been vacated across the country. Institutions are to go back to the 2020 Trump-era rules.
