The Biden administration is set to announce changes to Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded schools. The new rule, scheduled to take effect on August 1, will bring significant changes aimed at protecting LGBTQ+ and pregnant students while overhauling controversial guidance from the Trump era.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona emphasized the importance of creating inclusive educational environments that celebrate diversity and root out hate. The updated regulations will require schools to safeguard students from all forms of sex discrimination, including sexual violence, harassment, and discrimination based on pregnancy or related conditions.
