The Department amended Title IX regulations to better align with Title IX's nondiscrimination mandate; the rule stated that sex discrimination encompasses sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity, with an effective date of August 1, 2024.

The Biden administration issued a Title IX final rule that would have restored and expanded protections in areas including LGBTQ+ status, pregnancy-related conditions, and sex-based harassment. This supports partial/delivered policy movement, but it was executive rulemaking rather than Dingell legislation and was later vacated.

The court held that the Final Rule and corresponding regulations exceeded the Department's Title IX authority, violated the Constitution, and were arbitrary and capricious. It concluded that the entire Final Rule and corresponding regulations were invalid and must be set aside.

A federal district court vacated the 2024 Title IX rule nationwide, eliminating the main federal action that had restored and expanded Title IX protections. This weighs against fulfillment as of the assessment date.
