Note:On April 29, 2024, three separate lawsuits challenging implementation of the 2024 Title IX Regulation were filed by nine states (Knott. 2024). The following day, six additional states filed similar lawsuits seeking to vacate the regulation, postpone the implementation date of August 1, 2024, and prohibit the Department of Education from enforcing the regulation (Knott. 2024). In total 26 state Attorney Generals have challenged the regulations, and two federal judges have since temporarily blocked the regulation in 10 states: Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Four other similar lawsuits are still pending (Knott. 2024). The primary contention identified in these lawsuits relates to the expansion of Title IX to include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in the definition of sex-based discrimination prohibited by Title IX (Knott. 2024). The outcome of litigation is unclear and the implementation date for the new regulation may vary by state. Accordingly, it is essential that campus community members pay attention to potential policy changes on campus that may impact Title IX procedures, including any mandated reporting expectations for employees.
