This story has been updated to include comment from university representatives.
President Joe Biden will order the Department of Education (DOE) to reexamine policy changes made to Title IX under the Trump administration.
Biden will specifically target existing policies pertaining to investigating sexual misconduct on college campuses; those policies lead by former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos were a controversial tenant of Trump’s presidency, with many of the changes reverting Obama-era regulations designed to protect survivors of sexual violence. The review will also examine rules that could potentially permit “discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or identity.”

University President A. Gabriel Esteban announced DePaul’s plans for the upcoming spring, summer and fall quarters in a YouTube video posted Tuesday to the university’s marketing and communications channel.
Esteban said that the university plans for a “full complement of in-person classes” for the fall 2021 term. The president also said that DePaul plans to offer more in-person classes with a “phased return to campus for employees” for this year’s summer term.
The spring quarter will operate on DePaul’s current academic model, with a majority of classes held online and reduced levels of residence hall occupancy. There will be no increase in residence hall occupancy, per the video.

D CEO editors loved talking with North Texas executives about their holiday memories and plans. (Read part one of our series, featuring Charlotte Jones, Ben Lamm, and Bob Pryor, here; and part two, featuring Cynt Marshall, Chad Houser, and Chris Kelly, here.) It sparked some wistful thoughts of our own:
