Trump Administration Reinstates 2020 Title IX Regulations, Drawing Criticism from Civil Rights Advocates

The Trump administration has formally restored the 2020 Title IX regulations, removing the Biden administration's 2024 rules from the Code of Federal Regulations. Civil rights advocates warn that these reinstated rules will make it more difficult for survivors of sexual harassment and assault to obtain protection from their schools and will further target transgender students. The U.S. Department of Education stated that the dismissal of remaining litigation over the Biden-era rule cleared the way for the restoration of the earlier regulatory language.
