The Education Department announced a significant policy shift on Monday. Officials revealed plans to reverse Biden-era Title IX regulations. These regulations enhanced nondiscrimination protections focusing on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The department will now reinstate rules from the first Trump administration. This update represents a departure from recent efforts under the Biden administration to broaden these protections.
