Volume 17 Issue 05 | May 2025
This month we continue our review of the issues from 2024 with a focus on the Compliance & Regulatory Category. This category continues to outpace the others in the number of articles linked, as it has for many years. However, what compliance looks like in the future is rapidly changing with executive orders, judicial rulings, and college athletics changes on the horizon.In looking at the types of stories linked in the Compliance & Regulatory Category there were no major surprises:
- Title IX
- Discrimination Litigation
- Employee Conduct Issues
- Free Speech Related Litigation
- Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Litigation
This is another issue that demonstrates the need for good communication across silos because many areas, such as Student Affairs, Campus Security, Police, etc., will need to be aware and involved to ensure compliance. Data collected from this act will be included in the Annual Security Report each year.
In thinking about likely trends for the year ahead, I’d expect to see an increase in attention on Title VI and Title VII. Additionally, the changes in athletics that will presumably arrive soon will be very interesting from a compliance standpoint.
Lastly, foreign influence and security of research will continue to be a focus. Specifically, any changes in the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) can have a major impact on research institutions. Constant vigilance toward trends and changes will become more important than ever.
