This week on More Likely Than Not, Kayleigh and Joe unpack recent cases testing how schools handle harassment, including a Fourth Circuit ruling that emphasizes the need for remedies to be “reasonably calculated” to stop misconduct. They ask: What might have changed if Title IX coordinators had been involved?

They also examine a University of Pennsylvania law professor’s unsuccessful free speech lawsuit and OCR’s findings against Denver Public Schools over all-gender restrooms, raising questions about federal authority, local pushback, and the future of directed investigations.

In Overheard on the Listserv, they address a critical question: Where should Title IX coordinators sit within an institution? From legal counsel to HR to student affairs, they weigh the trade-offs and stress why independence and trust matter most.

If you’re wondering how federal rulings, institutional politics, and reporting structures intersect in Title IX, we’re more likely than not covering it in this week’s episode.
