Released today, not yet effective (comment period ensues), but will be soon, and the rules walk back a lot of requirements from the Obama era rules. A lot of it was expected, like allowing cross-examination of the accuser, a presumption of innocence, etc. Surprisingly, the rules permit the schools to choose whether to use the preponderance or clear and convincing standard (not tough to guess which one the U will continue with). Seems like one big change, though, is the one quoted below -- which, IIRC, would NOT permit the U to adjudicate complaints like the ones against Reggie Lynch, which had nothing to do with the university other than one or more students was involved.
