As
we approach the election, a number of things are happening in Washington that
will impact higher education. While Congress continues its stalemate over
additional coronavirus relief, federal agencies are promulgating a number of
regulations in the last weeks of this presidential term. In addition, the
Department of Education has signaled that institutional acknowledgments of
systemic racism will prompt Title VI compliance inquiries, and perhaps most
notably in recent days, the President issued an Executive
Order on Race and Sex Stereotypes that may a have
far reaching implications for the nation’s colleges and universities.
Join us for a NACUA
Briefing with Terry
Hartle, Senior Vice President for Government & Public
Affairs at the American Council on Education, as he walks us through the recent
actions in Washington and what to expect in the coming weeks. NACUA
member Stephanie Gold, Partner at Hogan Lovells LLP, will follow to
describe the Executive Order on Race and Sex Stereotyping and issue spot
potential implications for higher education relative to the EO’s impact on federal
grants, government subcontracts, and more. She will also discuss the legality
of the EO and preview how changes in the executive, congressional, or judicial
branches might impact policy or enforcement.
This 30-minute briefing
will be audio-only and will be complimentary to NACUA members.
