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The U.S. Department of Education has formally rescinded the Biden administration’s 2024 Title IX regulations, restoring the 2020 rules from the first Trump term.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.
