The rights of LGBTQ students would become enshrined in federal law and victims of campus sexual assault would gain new protections under new rules proposed by the Biden administration on Thursday.
The proposal, announced on the 50th anniversary of the Title IX women’s rights law, is intended to replace a set of controversial rules issued during the Trump administration by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
For the first time, the rules would formally protect LGBTQ students under Title IX. Nothing in the 1972 law explicitly addresses the topic, but the new proposal would clarify that the law applies to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
It would make clear that “preventing someone from participating in school programs and activities consistent with their gender identity would cause harm in violation of Title IX,” according to the department. More specific rules dealing with the rights of transgender students in school sports will be released later, the department said.
DeVos’ rules dramatically reshaped the way colleges handle allegations of sexual assault and harassment, with an emphasis on ensuring the constitutional due process rights of the accused.
Under her rules, accused students were given wider rights to review and respond to evidence against them, and students had the right to cross-examine one another through a representative at live hearings.
The live hearing requirement was applauded as a victory for accused students, but it drew intense backlash from other advocates who said it forced victims to relive their trauma.

I think the mentally challenged need “protections” but not as much as infants in America need “protections”.
Republicans need to take a page from the Dems and constantly refer to this as Biden’s “Kill Womens’ Sports” rule.
Marketing matters.
Good luck getting that one by the SCOTUS.
Does this mean that there will be "trans" quotas for the women's teams?
So like they can now go into the same stall...
Nothing like different laws for different classes
So a swimmer who *IS* female and decidedly identifies as the woman she is can say her rights were compromised by having a biological male compete against her AND was sexually assaulted by the visibility of male junk in her locker room. Under Title IX, that would work!
EQUAL justice for all.
“Gays can shoot conservatives, harass them in public, get them fired and prevent them from getting credit”
Why do I think this is very close to the final result?
White Christian men are the only unprotected class in this country.
When are they going to pass a law that we can’t laugh at or mock LGBTQ?
Keep pushing this Biden. America is repulsed by everything you do.
Because some are more equal than others.
LGBTQ+D “students”. So they are being trained and groomed for homosexuality in our taxpayer financed “publik skools”. Congratulations America. We all should be proud.
What about the students that identify as cats and pee in litter boxes?
Exactly.
Exactly.
Extra rights for them, less for the rest of us. All of it unconstitutional, of course.
My gawd. As often stated, we are being led by literally children and socialists. Losing faith in the continuation of the greatest experiment in personal freedom the world has ever seen. We are headed down the failed path of ancient Greece.
