MI Responds: Biden Administration Releases New Title IX Rules
Title IX
April 19, 2024
The Manhattan Institute’s director of constitutional studies, Ilya Shapiro, responds to the Biden administration’s new Title IX provisions:
“There’s a reason this new Title IX rule was delayed again and again: the Biden administration knew that it was stretching the law beyond its breaking point. At a time when American higher education is in crisis, with a drastic loss in popular confidence, this new rule adds fuel to that fire. The administration expands Title IX to cover an undefined ‘gender identity’ despite the law’s clear understanding of sex as biological and binary—regardless whether you care most about statutory text or purpose, or even legislative history. Name-checking the Supreme Court’s Bostock decision and leaving unresolved (for now) the issue of biological males playing in women’s sports doesn’t save the rule.
