Committee sends Title IX accountability bill to general orders with amendment to avoid requiring presidents to add staff
Summary
Representative Steven Pickett sponsored House Bill 141 to assign Title IX policy and implementation responsibility to higher-education presidents; the committee amended wording to require reporting to the president rather than duties 'within the office.'
BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho House Committee on Education voted to send House Bill 141 to general orders with committee-approved amendments that clarify where accountability for Title IX implementation should sit at higher-education institutions.
Representative Steven Pickett, R-Minidoka, presented HB 141 as a measure to ensure that college and university presidents exercise responsibility for establishing and overseeing policies to implement Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Pickett said the bill does not prescribe what those policies must say; rather, it directs that presidents be involved in setting policy and in accountability for its implementation.
