U.S. Education Department to Enforce 2020 Title IX Regulations
February 2, 2025 - 04:55
On January 31, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced its intention to enforce Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, adhering to the 2020 Title IX Rule. This decision follows the invalidation of the 2024 Title IX Final Rule, signaling a significant shift in the regulatory landscape for educational institutions.
The announcement, detailed in a “Dear Colleague Letter,” comes alongside Executive Order 14168, which aims to "Defend Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restore Biological Truth to the Federal Government." This directive is expected to have far-reaching effects on schools, colleges, and universities that receive federal financial assistance and are subject to Title IX regulations.
As a result, these institutions will need to thoroughly review and potentially revise their existing policies, procedures, and practices to align with the 2020 Title IX Rule. Failure to comply could lead to enforcement actions from the OCR or the U.S. Department of Justice, emphasizing the importance of immediate attention to these changes.
