Education Dept. Restores 2020 Title IX Rule, Keeping Religious Exemptions Intact
If this is your mountain
- Confirm your institution's Title IX religious exemption letter under 34 C.F.R. § 106.12(c)-(d) is current and on file with the Department.
- Review student, employee, and housing policies to ensure they align with the restored 2020 rule rather than the vacated 2024 provisions.
- Ask legal counsel whether the seven-year recordkeeping requirement under 34 C.F.R. § 106.10(b)(10) is being met.
- Monitor Federal Register notices for any future rulemaking proposing a biological-sex definition, and prepare comment input if it advances.
