Title IX is a federal law that was part of the Education Amendments of 1972. While Title IX is centered around prohibiting sex-based discrimination at educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance, it has undergone many regulatory changes throughout the years. In 2020, the Trump administration made a rule change to Title IX, which brought changes to the enforcement of Title IX at higher education institutions. It is widely anticipated that the Biden-Harris administration will announce proposed rule changes to Title IX in 2022. Amber Grove discusses the importance of Title IX and what a proposed change to Title IX from the Biden-Harris administration might look like in 2022.
