A significant federal court decision has invalidated the Biden Administration’s 2024 Title IX regulations due to statutory overreach, constitutional violations, and arbitrary rulemaking. This decision has created confusion within the legal framework of Title IX compliance for schools and stakeholders.
The ruling stated that the Department of Education went too far by including gender identity in the Title IX definition of “sex.” It also said the changes violated First Amendment rights and weren’t adequately justified, leaving schools struggling to keep up with the shifting rules.
