npr.org/2024/04/19/1245858954/title-ix-changes-lgbtq-assault-victim-transgender-biden-administration
Quick Glance: Biden Administration Expands Title IX Protection for LGBTQ Students, Assault Victims
- The Biden administration released rules that protect the rights of LGBTQ students and change how schools can respond to allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.
- The Education Department updated Title IX, the 1972 law prohibiting sex discrimination in school programs, with the changes set to take effect on August 1.
- The new rules eliminate in-person court-like proceedings for sexual assault allegations, broaden the definition of sexual harassment, and officially expand Title IX interpretation to cover pregnant, gay, and transgender students.
- These changes have sparked mixed reviews and controversy, with supporters praising the increased safety for students while critics argue that the new regulations infringe on due process rights and expressive freedoms.
