The U.S. Department of Education unveiled a long-awaited overhaul of Title IX anti-discrimination protections on Friday morning, promising to safeguard the rights of LGBTQ+ students and victims of sexual assault.
The new regulations will be officially published on April 29, but a 1,395-page document explaining the changes and the DoE’s responses to public comments was published in the Federal Register early Friday morning.
When the new rules go into effect on August 1, educational institutions that receive federal funding will be required to comply with a new standard of what constitutes “sex discrimination,” which will now officially include discriminatory or harassing behavior towards queer, transgender, and intersex people.
