Title IX

A panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last week granted a request from the states and other plaintiffs for an injunction against Title IX, a landmark 1972 law that bars discrimination in education programs based on sex.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday temporarily halted a new federal rule about sex-based discrimination in education programs.

Rejecting arguments by Florida and three other states, a federal judge Tuesday refused to grant a preliminary injunction against a new federal rule about sex-based discrimination in education programs.

Under the new rules, students must be allowed to use pronouns and bathrooms that align with their gender identity among other changes.

The law (HB 7), passed by the state Legislature this spring and signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in April, will restrict the way certain race-related issues can be taught in schools and workplace training sessions. The new law, set to take effect July 1, specifically targets training and instruction that would tell students and employees that they “unconsciously” discriminate.

The administration proposed an overhaul of regulations to expand protections for LGBTQI+ students and require schools to respond to all sexual discrimination complaints.

Fifty years ago, Title IX banned discrimination based on sex in educational institutions. College sports had to change. This is the story of how four women fought to make that happen.

On the 50th anniversary of Title IX, President Biden is expected to announce new rules governing the protection of sexual assault and harassment accusers in education.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday peppered attorneys with questions in a lawsuit over whether a Northeast Florida high school should have prevented a transgender male student from using boys’ bathrooms.

In addition to establishing the council, President Biden has signed an executive order aimed at reversing Trump administration policies on campus sexual assault and harassment.

The bill comes as the U.S. Department of Education is nearing the end of a lengthy rule-making process to revise rules that govern how universities that receive federal funding handle sexual assault.
