A policy briefing and AGB podcast highlighted an uptick in Title VI investigations and outlined expectations for trustees and campus leaders. Former Office for Civil Rights attorneys and compliance experts advised boards to prepare for increased scrutiny over shared‑ancestry discrimination claims, evolving enforcement priorities and more aggressive complaint volumes. Speakers recommended trustees ensure institutions have clear response protocols, documented training, and an executive‑level compliance owner who can coordinate legal, student‑life and academic units. The guidance emphasized that Title VI now intersects with broader campus climate and governance questions, and recommended rapid escalation channels to the board when investigations or high‑risk complaints surface.
