A federal judge denied the Biden administration’s request to narrow or delay a recent court hold blocking the Education Department from enforcing its new Title IX rule at hundreds of colleges across the country.
The temporary injunction earlier this month from Judge John Broomes of the District of Kansas applied to Alaska, Kansas, Utah and Wyoming as well as any school or college attended by members of the conservative organizations Young America’s Foundation, Female Athletes United and Moms for Liberty. Just over 670 colleges and universities across 50 states and territories were affected by the order, according to a court filing. The new regulations, which strengthen protections for LGBTQ+ students, take effect Aug. 1, had already been blocked in 11 other states.
