TC higher education partner Scott Goldschmidt was quoted extensively in a recent Law.com article on the U.S. Supreme Court blocking new Title IX rules proposed by the Biden administration to protect LGBTQ+ individuals. Noting the importance of schools taking stock of their compliance status given the "gray area" surrounding Title IX, he said, "there are certain things in the 2024 rule that, even if you are not adopting, the institution might still want to implement. Things like student training or employee training are needed to put yourself in the best position to defend against any potential Title IX actions."

New on the Wonkology blog! The debate procedure known as “strike the last word” allows any member in Congress 5 minutes to speak on an amendment under consideration. This tactic was used by some House Judiciary Republicans during the 2019 committee debate on articles of impeachment against former President Trump, and Google searches for “strike the last word” hit an all-time high that day. What are the rules surrounding this tactic, and when can it be used?
