Department of Education removes Biden-era Title IX rules and restores Trump-era definition of sex.

On September 29, 2026, the Department of Education announced it formally removed Biden-era Title IX regulations that extended protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The department restored rules from Trump's first term recognizing sex as male or female at birth, effective September 30, 2026. The Biden rules had been struck down by a federal court in January 2025.
