Recodification of Title IX Final Rule
October 1, 2026
On January 9, 2025, a federal district court judge in Tennessee v. Cardona vacated the 2024 Title IX regulations promulgated by the Biden Administration, striking them down nationwide. Shortly afterward, on February 4, 2025, the Department of Education (ED) issued a Dear Colleague letter clarifying that, in light of the ruling, it would enforce Title IX under the 2020 Title IX regulations promulgated by the first Trump Administration.
On September 29, 2026, ED issued a final rule, “Recodification of Title IX Rules,” formalizing this approach by officially repealing the 2024 regulations and, with a few notable exceptions, reinstating the 2020 regulations.
