A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance".
Summary
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a 2024 Department of Education rule that updated the regulations for Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in schools and colleges. If passed, the resolution would nullify recent changes that expanded the definition of sex discrimination to include sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as new requirements for how schools must handle grievances and harassment claims. For students and educational institutions, this would mean a return to previous Title IX standards regarding privacy, athletic participation, and the legal procedures used to investigate allegations of misconduct.
