NWLC Reacts to Extended Final Title IX Rule Delay

The following is a statement from Shiwali Patel, Director of Justice for Students Survivors and Senior Counsel at the National Women's Law Center:

"We're deeply disappointed in the Biden Administration's decision to postpone the final Title IX rule until March 2024, almost a year later than first promised. These ongoing delays are unacceptable, leaving students stuck under outdated and harmful Trump-era rules. Survivors, LGBTQI+ students, and pregnant and parenting students are being harmed every day by the absence of these protections and the lack of a new Title IX final rule. We refuse to tolerate broken promises any longer. The Biden Administration must take immediate action to strengthen Title IX and meet the urgency this moment calls for."

The National Women's Law Center fights for gender justice - in the courts, in public policy, and in our society - working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls. We use the law in all its forms to change culture and drive solutions to the gender inequity that shapes our society and to break down the barriers that harm all of us - especially those who face multiple forms of discrimination, including women of color, LGBTQ people, and low-income women and families. For more than 50 years, we have been on the leading edge of every major legal and policy victory for women. Find out more at NWLC.org.
