What is Title IX? How did Title IX become so weaponized and controversial? What should academics know about this new Title IX Rule? What is to be expected for the academic year 2024 to 2025?
On April 29, the Biden administration published its new, disastrous Title IX Rule in the Federal Register: It guts due process protections put in place by President Trump‘s Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and it imposes gender identity in schools. Additionally, gender activists will use the Rule to compel speech—specifically, forcing others to use pronouns they demand, something the Biden administration is actually already mandating even though this is both illegal and unconstitutional.
Thankfully, many lawsuits have been filed against the Biden Administration for this unprecedented Title IX overreach. Of these, the most important are those filed by the numerous State Attorneys General—26 states in all, to be exact.
This event will feature Christian Corrigan, the Assistant Attorney General and Solicitor General of Montana and author of one of the most comprehensive Complaints filed in federal court against Biden's Education Department; and Teresa R. Manning, Policy Director at the National Association of Scholars.
