Responding to Government Investigations in Higher Ed: A Focus on Title IX and Gender Equity

In today’s regulatory climate, government investigations in higher education are not only more frequent but significantly more complex. Institutions are navigating a surge in investigative activity from both federal and state agencies, often simultaneously, and across a widening array of legal and compliance domains including civil rights, employment practices, student conduct, and financial aid. These matters often involve overlapping state and federal law frameworks, heightened public scrutiny, and high-stakes reputational risks. Consequently, colleges and universities must be prepared to respond swiftly and strategically to investigations that demand both legal nuance and operational agility.

Join Thompson Coburn’s Higher Education Rapid Response & Investigations Team for a webinar focused on this evolving landscape of government investigations. Our team will examine recent regulatory developments and walk through practical scenarios, offering actionable strategies for navigating complex investigations involving both students and employees.
