The law pertaining to antidiscrimination protections for postsecondary students, faculty, and staff who identify as transgender, or whose gender identity is nonbinary, is complex. It is a combination of federal, state, and local laws, interpreted via inconsistent and occasionally conflicting jurisprudence across different jurisdictions, which is further complicated by regulatory and sub-regulatory guidance. Beyond the complicated legal framework, higher education counsel are also often called upon to advise their clients on how to navigate the politics attendant to the law(s) of gender identity on campus.
Please join us for this two-hour webinar in which a trio of NACUA member-experts will examine the legal authority and practical considerations impacting gender identity in the postsecondary space, including:
- Title IX, including related to healthcare, athletics, facilities use, and minors on campus;
- Title VII, including legal developments post-Bostock v. Clayton Cty. (2020);
- Religious accommodations & academic freedom, including name and pronouns usage; and
- An overview of emerging State law trends.
Who Should Attend?
This webinar will interest in-house and outside college and university counsel who advise on matters related to antidiscrimination law and related policies, as well as campus administrators and other professionals on campus who maintain responsibilities in these areas.
