Overview

  • June has been designated 'Title IX Month' to commemorate the law’s 53rd anniversary and spotlight the department’s enforcement agenda.
  • Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is overseeing investigations into two high-profile Title IX complaints carried over from the previous administration.
  • At the University of Wyoming, a probe examines the admission of a male student identifying as female into the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and female-only housing amid a member lawsuit.
  • Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado faces scrutiny for assigning overnight accommodations by gender identity instead of biological sex after parents reported shared beds.
  • The department’s actions reverse plans to include gender identity under Title IX and prioritize protection of women’s sports and single-sex facilities.
