SUMMARY:Navigating Title VI in 2026: Practical Guidance for Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Webinar\n\nThe DOJ’s Final Rule on Digital Accessibility: Practical Considerations for Public Institutions and Changes on the Horizon for Private Institutions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\n\nInstitutions of higher education continue to face complex and evolving challenges related to complaints of discrimination and harassment based on race\, color\, national origin\, and shared ancestry. Title VI enforcement remains a significant federal priority in President Trump’s second term. As a result\, colleges and universities are navigating heightened expectations to foster non-discriminatory\, welcoming environments for their faculty\, students\, and staff\, while also strengthening compliance practices and responses to federal investigations and enforcement activities. \n\n\n\nThis two-hour NACUA webinar will provide a timely overview of the current Title VI landscape. Presenters will discuss recent developments\, including relevant Executive Orders\, ongoing litigation\, and agency guidance\, and will offer practical guidance for institutions seeking to ensure compliance with Title VI guidance. \n\n\n\nTopics will include: \n\n\n\n\nKey considerations and best practices for establishing or enhancing a campus Title VI office\, or integrating Title VI functions within a broader civil rights office;\n\n\n\nRecent enforcement priorities and insights including from Resolution Agreements (under both current and prior administrations);\n\n\n\nStrategies for reviewing and aligning institutional policies with Title VI requirements;\n\n\n\nConsiderations in conducting effective Title VI investigations; and\n\n\n\nThe role of training in supporting institutional compliance and effective Title VI responses.\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend? \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to all college and university counsel\, particularly those who advise on Title VI matters (including campus policies on harassment and other forms of discrimination)\, student conduct\, compliance\, and belonging\, access\, and engagement\, as well as investigators and campus administrators with responsibilities related to these areas. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n    \n                    \n                                    \n                                            \n                                Philip “Phil” Catanzano\n            \n            \n                \n                        \n                    \n                \n                                            \n                                                    \n                                        \n                        Philip “Phil” Catanzano\n                        Co-Founder \n                                                    Education & Sports Law Group \n                                                                            Member\, 2023-2026 \n                                            \n                \n                \n                                            \nPhil Catanzano is co-founder of Education & Sports Law Group.
