In a Facebook post last Saturday, after reading an online CNN article “What protesters say is fueling their anger," I wondered what I could do to help eliminate racism, which is causing so much harm to our collective humanity. I wasn’t sure what to do first.
As a law professor and member of the Sports Lawyers Association (including 2 years as its president and 18 years on its board of directors) for 30+ years, I’ve had the good fortune of getting to know and work with many persons of color as students and professional colleagues. I’ve become friends with many of them. During the past couple days, I learned that I didn’t know some of them very well.

The Department of Education released the long awaited Title IX regulations focusing on sexual misconduct on May 6. The regulations were initially proposed in November, 2018. It is the first time that the Department has issued regulations dealing with sexual harassment or sexual assault. Previously, the Department has issued Dear Colleague letters setting forth guidance to covered entities.
The August 14, 2020 effective date gives institutions only three months to make necessary changes to their existing policies and procedures at a time when most are devoting huge amounts of time and resources to COVID-19. Most institutions will have to make significant changes to existing policies and procedures.
