Dear Friend,
On Friday, the Biden Administration issued new rules to effectively broaden the scope of Title IX, which was designed to give women equal opportunities in academic settings. The new rule would expand the definition of sex discrimination to include both sexual orientation and gender identity. Title IX was meant to protect female students from sex discrimination.
In December, the House Oversight Committee had a hearing on the potential Title IX change, and they found that by redefining sex discrimination to include “gender identity” in regulation, the Biden Administration policy will be eradicating female-only sports, spaces, and scholarships at institutions receiving federal funding.
