The New Title IX Regulation and Legal Battles Over It, Explained

The New Title IX Regulation and Legal Battles Over It, Explained
SHARE

The U.S. Department of Education’s new Title IX regulation has sparked a flurry of legal battles and controversies across the country. With lawsuits, injunctions, and a recent U.S. Supreme Court emergency ruling, the future of the regulation remains uncertain. To help educators navigate through these turbulent times, Education Week has created a comprehensive guide on the new rule, the legal actions surrounding it, and the key questions and answers about it.

The new Title IX regulation, which went into effect on August 1, is the Education Department’s latest interpretation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. This regulation clarifies that Title IX protects students based on sexual orientation and gender identity, expands protections for pregnant and postpartum students, includes stronger language about retaliation, and establishes new grievance and due-process procedures.

However, the new regulation has faced significant backlash and legal challenges, particularly from 26 Republican-leaning states. The chief objection revolves around the inclusion of gender identity in the rule’s definition of sex discrimination, especially in provisions related to spaces such as restrooms. These states argue that the changes infringe upon parental rights and facilitate unwanted policies in schools regarding gender identity and sexual orientation.

The legal battles have resulted in a patchwork of injunctions that are blocking the Title IX regulation in different states and schools. Notably, a federal district court in Kansas issued an injunction that applies to schools attended by members of conservative groups like Moms for Liberty, Young America’s Foundation, and Female Athletes United, regardless of the state. These groups are actively updating lists of schools affected by the injunction, adding new members and their children’s schools to the list.

In a recent development, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a request by the Biden administration to partially lift the injunctions blocking the Title IX regulation in 26 states and the listed schools. The court’s decision was based on the administration’s failure to demonstrate that the challenged provisions could be separated from the rest of the regulation.

While all justices agreed to maintain the injunctions blocking provisions related to gender identity, four dissenting justices expressed support for allowing other parts of the regulation, such as those concerning pregnancy and retaliation, to take effect nationwide. The legal battles are now being reviewed by multiple federal appeals courts, with oral arguments scheduled for this fall.

The Supreme Court has signaled its expectation for the lower courts to decide these cases promptly. However, the timeline for resolving these legal challenges remains uncertain, as federal appeals courts are not known for speedy decisions. The fate of the new Title IX regulation hangs in the balance as the legal battles continue to unfold across the country. The current patchwork enforcement of the Title IX regulation is a hot topic in the education sector, with legal experts predicting that this situation is likely to continue for at least half of the current school year, and possibly even longer. Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

The enforcement of Title IX has been a point of contention for many years, with schools across the country interpreting and implementing the regulation in various ways. This has led to a lack of consistency in how cases of sexual harassment and assault are handled on school campuses, leaving students vulnerable and unsure of their rights.

Legal experts believe that the current patchwork enforcement of Title IX will continue due to the lack of clear guidance from the federal government. The Department of Education under the Biden administration has indicated that it will be reviewing and potentially revising the Title IX regulations put in place by the previous administration. This process is expected to take time, and in the meantime, schools will continue to operate under the existing regulations.

In the absence of clear federal guidance, schools are left to navigate the enforcement of Title IX on their own, leading to inconsistencies and potential violations of students’ rights. It is crucial for schools to have clear policies and procedures in place to address cases of sexual harassment and assault and to ensure that all students are protected and supported.

As the legal landscape surrounding Title IX continues to evolve, it is important for schools to stay informed and proactive in their efforts to create a safe and inclusive environment for all students. By staying updated on the latest developments and working with legal experts to ensure compliance with the law, schools can help protect the rights of their students and create a culture of respect and accountability on their campuses.
