"Expanding Title IX: Biden's Inclusive Reforms for LGBTQ+ and Assault Victims"
TL;DR
The Biden administration has released new Title IX regulations that expand protections for LGBTQ students and change the way schools handle allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. The updates, set to take effect on August 1, eliminate in-person court-like proceedings for sexual assault allegations and broaden the definition of sexual harassment. Additionally, the regulations officially broaden the interpretation of Title IX to cover pregnant, gay, and transgender students, drawing both support and criticism from various groups.
