HHS Unveils $10M Prize Competition to Revive Presidential Fitness Test in Schools

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has launched a $10 million prize competition to encourage schools and youth organizations to implement the Presidential Fitness Test. Announced in Austin, Texas, the initiative offers $7 million in cash awards for innovative implementation strategies and $3 million in equipment vouchers. Applications open on a new federal website, Fitness.gov, with a submission deadline of February 5, 2027. The move aims to boost participation in the test, which President Trump revived via executive order last year but is currently only mandatory for 161 schools on military installations.

Education Department Finalizes Title IX Rollback, Restoring 2020 Rules

The U.S. Department of Education has formally rescinded the Biden administration’s 2024 Title IX regulations, restoring the 2020 rules from the first Trump term. This move removes federal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, narrowing the scope of sexual misconduct investigations. While the action aligns with previous court orders, critics argue it weakens accountability for campus assaults, while supporters claim it reduces confusion for schools.

Education Department Finalizes Repeal of Biden Title IX Rules, Restoring 2020 Regulations Without Public Comment

The U.S. Department of Education has officially rescinded the 2024 Biden-era Title IX regulations, reinstating the 2020 rules from the first Trump administration. This move removes explicit protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as protections for pregnant and parenting students. The new regulations take effect immediately on September 29, 2026, without a public notice-and-comment period. While the administration argues this restores 'commonsense' language and aligns with court orders, advocates warn it weakens protections for survivors of sexual assault and LGBTQ+ students. The Department claims the change has no practical impact, as it has been enforcing the 2020 rules since January 2025, but critics argue the formal repeal removes legal cover for states and districts that had relied on the broader protections.

Education Department Finalizes Repeal of Biden Title IX Rule, Restoring 2020 Regulations

The U.S. Department of Education has formally rescinded the Biden administration’s 2024 Title IX rule, restoring the 2020 regulatory text from the first Trump administration. Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced the move in an exclusive interview, stating the action clarifies rules for schools and families. The new regulation limits Title IX protections to sex defined as male or female, reversing expanded protections for sexual orientation and gender identity. Courts had already invalidated the Biden rule, and the department had been enforcing the 2020 regulations since January 2025. McMahon emphasized that the change ensures compliance and protects women’s sports, while the administration continues to pursue enforcement through funding restrictions and legal referrals.

Education Dept. seeks public college pledges to overhaul higher education

The Education Department is urging U.S. colleges to publicly commit to a set of reforms—tackling grade inflation, increasing cost transparency, curbing foreign donations, and ensuring faculty diversity—by the end of 2026. The push echoes last fall’s college compact, which MIT rejected; the latest letter is less restrictive and does not include caps on international students, a tuition freeze, or funding incentives, and it requires schools to post their statements prominently on their websites.
