Critics have attempted to undo the new Title IX rule ever since it became law in May 2020. Multiple lawsuits were filed to stop implementation of the law, and when they were unsuccessful, litigation commenced to halt its enforcement.1

Now that Joe Biden is President, opponents of the law are optimistic that they will succeed. After all, candidate Biden condemned the Trump Administration’s Education Department for “trying to shame and silence survivors.”2 “Instead of protecting women,” Biden wrote on his campaign website, “they have rolled back the clock and given colleges a green light to ignore sexual violence and strip survivors of their civil rights under Title IX.”3 Biden promised to “restore the Title IX guidance for colleges, including the 2011 Dear Colleague Letter.”4 Hours after the 2,000+ page Rule was released, Biden condemned it and vowed to put it to a “quick end.”
