Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Nancy Cantalupo <>]

Dear Colleagues,

I do not have any update on the new Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which does not appear to have been published yet in the Federal Register, but I do have some news related to the 2018 NPRM issued by then-Sec of Ed Betsy DeVos-- or rather, I have news related to the comments filed in response to it.  After over three years, I am happy to report that we have a semi-final draft of our report on the crowd-research project that sought to read and gather data from the 124,000+ comments filed in response to that NPRM, and a catalog of all but about 6800 of the comments filed.  You can access the draft report and  and download it for free here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4152477.

It would be very helpful to me and the rest of the authors of the report (all students or just-graduated alumni from California Western School of Law, Georgetown University Law Center, Wayne State University Law School, and Yale University) to get your feedback on the report.  You can access the Catalog itself from a link in the draft report.

We will be finalizing the report by mid-July and anticipate submitting it to the Department of Education in a comment for the current rulemaking.  Therefore, we would appreciate feedback by July 18th. (Please note that, because the NPRM just issued is not yet published in the Federal Register, its docket ID# (ED-2021-OCR-0166) does not yet appear in regulations.gov.  As Michelle noted when I first posted about the new NPRM on the 50th anniversary, the 60-day comment period does not open until publication in the Federal Register, and no comments can be posted until regulations.gov has a docket set up.)  In the meantime, please feel free to contact me with questions.

Best,

Nancy
