Subject of Possible Rule Making: To bring Cascadia College's (Cascadia) supplemental sex discrimination student conduct code and procedures into compliance with 2020 amendments to the Title IX regulations.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: In April 2024, the Department of Education issued a final rule amending the Title IX regulations. Cascadia implemented rules in compliance with the 2024 final rule. In January 2025, a federal court issued a decision vacating the 2024 final rule. As a result, institutions must comply with the 2020 amendments to the Title IX regulations. Cascadia's proposed emergency rules bring its student conduct code into compliance with the 2020 amendments to the Title IX regulations. The board of trustees reviewed and approved of these emergency rules on March 19, 2025.
