Trump admin rescinds LGBTQ protections from Title IX
What happened
The Trump administration has scrapped a Title IX rule adopted in 2024 to protect LGBTQ students from sexual harassment. The change was announced on September 28 and was to go into effect the next day without public comment. The rescinded rule was never implemented due to legal challenges and a federal judge striking it down in January 2025. The administration has unofficially reinstated Title IX rules from 2020.
Why it matters
The rescission of the rule may expose LGBTQ students to discrimination. LGBTQ and legal rights groups have criticized the move, saying it undermines protections for students. The change may reduce the likelihood of schools addressing sexual harassment and assault.
