Based on its extensive review of the critical issues addressed in this rulemaking, the Department has determined that current regulations and subregulatory guidance do not provide a sufficiently clear definition of what conduct constitutes sexual harassment or sufficiently clear standards for how recipients must respond to incidents of sexual harassment. To address this concern, we are regulating to address sexual harassment under Title IX for the central purpose of ensuring that Federal financial recipients understand their legal obligations under Title IX.

We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking, and we will subsequently issue final regulations, to implement Title IX.
