This week on More Likely Than Not, Kayleigh and Joe explore the ripple effects of the federal government shutdown. At the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), investigations are paused, updates to resolution agreements have stalled, and technical assistance is all but nonexistent. Title IX practitioners are left navigating compliance in the dark, literally, after OCR’s website went offline for nearly a day. During Overheard on the Listserv, they address a member’s question about ATIXA’s One Policy, Two Procedures (1P2P) model. They explain why 1P2P includes two additional appeal grounds beyond the three required by Title IX regulations and how these additions set a best-practice standard. If you’re wondering whether you imagined a third Title IX vacatur, it’s real, and we’re more likely than not covering it in this week’s episode.

Three’s (Not Enough) Company: The Case for Extra Appeal Grounds

More Likely Than Not is ATIXA's official podcast, exploring the evolving landscape of civil rights in education.

Hosts Kayleigh Baker, J.D., Senior Consultant at TNG, and Joseph Vincent, M.L.S., Partner and Vice President for Investigations at TNG, unpack the ethical and procedural challenges practitioners face, including emergency removals, hostile environments, informal resolutions, faculty power dynamics, and retaliation claims.
