Hey, Nancy—
It is great to hear from you; I love this project! So obviously, I discussed the comments in my annual plenary talk at our Summit. We’re about to send out our slides to the participants. As a part of the talk follow-up, can I share this opportunity? It will go to about 500 prevention folks.

Apologies.  I forgot to mention that we are endeavoring getting the cataloging substantially complete by July 8, 2019, although we are aware that this may be an overly ambitious deadline.  Still, with your help, we can meet the deadline, so please join and otherwise support the effort!

Dear SAPC and WRAC-L Colleagues,


I hope you are all having a good summer so far.  I am spending mine leading a new Title IX-related project in which I hope you will participate as well as encourage others in your network to join.

This "crowd-research" project seeks to catalog the 124,000+ comments (the latest number according to the regulations.gov website) that were filed by members of the public in response to the Title IX Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) issued by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos in November 2018.  For a whole host of reasons, understanding what the public said in response to the NPRM is critical, but the sheer number of comments is making it difficult for any of us to read or track all of the comments.  Therefore, this project is designed to combine the work of many volunteers to create a database that will catalog specific categories of information about the comments so that hopefully those who wish to read some subset of comments will have a better chance to identify which comments they should read.

I hope you will get involved by: (1) signing up to catalog comments yourself, (2) spreading the word to your networks to encourage others to volunteer, and (3) to the extent that you have students working with you this summer, making it possible, via assignment or other method, for them to catalog comments.  We have designed the cataloging process to be as simple and quick as possible in order to allow as wide a group of volunteers to participate in as little time as possible.

For more information and to sign up to catalog comments, please see The Big Comment Catalog website at https://sites.google.com/view/title-ix-comment-count/home?authuser=0.  Feel free direct any questions to the research team at .

Best,
Nancy
