    Updated Topic - Title IX Final Rule


    (webinar previously advertised as the topic Student Borrower Defense to Repayment)

    In order to present the most timely and relevant content to the NASASPS audience, the speaker for this webinar is shifting the presentation topic to cover the Title IX Final Rule.

    The U.S. Department of Education published the Title IX Final Rule on April 29, 2024. The Final Rule goes into effect on August 1, 2024 and contains significant changes, including expanding the scope of complaints that institutions must investigate, increasing employee reporting responsibilities, and clarifying institutional obligations regarding discrimination based on pregnancy or related conditions. This webinar will provide institutions of higher education with information on the significant changes and the impact on the Title IX Coordinator and other Title IX personnel.

    Jessica High, Attorney, Duane Morris

    Breaking the Chains of Closed School Transcripts: Beyond Digital Records to Real Solutions

    Unfortunately, digitization alone will not resolve the challenge when a closure leads to overlooked transfers of official transcripts. While digitization streamlines processes and reduces costs, the crucial issue arises when institutions hastily close, leaving students and institutions frustrated due to neglected transfers. To genuinely address this challenge, legislative changes are imperative for annualized standardization of digital storage. The key lies in achieving a delicate equilibrium between streamlined processes and regulatory advancements to resolve the core issues in transcript management.

    Presenters:
    John Ware, Director, Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools  
    Pascal Buser, Director, New Mexico Private Post-Secondary Schools
    Nicole Campbell, M.A.T.L., Division Chief, Pennsylvania Department of Education, Division of Law Enforcement Education and Trade Schools
    Manda Koss, Verif-y

    This event is a NASASPS member benefit and open to Regulators only.
