Abstract
Regulatory changes to Title IX made clear that the statute’s sexual assault grievance procedures do not apply to incidents that take place outside the United States. This Comment explores the reasoning underlying these 2020 regulations, which signal a departure from prior interpretations of Title IX and limit recourse for U.S. students who are sexually assaulted while studying abroad. Ultimately, this Comment argues that Title IX should have an extraterritorial reach when both complainant and respondent are affiliated with U.S. institutions. Such a change would harmonize Title IX’s underlying purpose with the practical difficulties of investigating and adjudicating conduct occurring outside of the United States.
