Episode notes
Title IX Protections
- Title IX protects students from sex discrimination, including pregnancy discrimination.
- The 2024 Biden regulations clarified protections for pregnant students, LGBTQIA+ students, and sexual assault survivors.
Transgender Rights
- The Biden Title IX regulations explicitly protect transgender students by including gender identity under sex discrimination.
- This clarifies existing protections and makes it easier for students to assert their rights.
Bostock Case Relevance
- The Kentucky judge rejected arguments that the Bostock Supreme Court case, protecting employees from LGBTQ+ discrimination, applies to Title IX.
- Hunt disagrees, arguing Bostock establishes gender identity as part of sex discrimination.
