Federal Judge Strikes Down Biden Administration’s Title IX Gender Identity Rules

The court ruled the changes exceeded the Department of Education's authority, reinstating the 2020 Title IX framework.

  • A federal judge in Kentucky vacated the Biden administration's 2024 Title IX rules, which included protections for gender identity.
  • The court found the Department of Education overstepped its authority by redefining 'sex discrimination' to include 'gender identity.'
  • The ruling reinstates the 2020 Title IX regulations from the Trump administration, which treated sex as binary and excluded specific protections for transgender individuals.
  • The decision impacts schools nationwide, creating uncertainty for districts that had implemented the Biden-era rules to protect LGBTQ students.
  • The Biden administration has not yet indicated whether it will appeal the ruling, leaving the future of these protections unclear.
