Overview

• On June 2, the Education Department formally designated June as “Title IX Month” to commemorate the law’s 53rd anniversary and reaffirm its commitment to women’s educational equality.
• OCR has launched separate probes into the University of Wyoming and Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado over policies allowing transgender women and girls to compete in girls’ sports and access women’s facilities.
• Officials say the initiative aims to reverse Biden‐era guidance that extended Title IX protections to transgender students and to reinforce the law’s original intent of protecting cisgender women.
• Human Rights Campaign and other LGBTQ+ groups dismissed the declaration as a political stunt and pledged to press on with Pride Month celebrations and advocacy.
• A GLAAD report released June 1 documented 932 anti-LGBTQ+ incidents in 49 states over the past year, highlighting a surge in hostility toward transgender individuals.
