Recodification of Title IX Rules

Built by the Tribune's code from the Federal Register. No AI wrote this page. Published in the Federal Register Sept. 29, 2026. Document 2026-19929. Updated Nov. 5, 2026.

What it does

The Secretary of Education publishes a final rule to repeal the U.S. Department of Education's (Department) 2024 final rule amending the Title IX regulations and restoring the regulatory text that existed prior to the 2024 rulemaking. The Department takes this action because the 2024 final rule has been vacated and is not enforceable nationwide. The Department has not enforced the 2024 final rule for over a year and a half; the regulatory text that existed before promulgation of the 2024 final rule, which is in force, should be recodified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). For this reason, the Department repeals the 2024 final rule to update the CFR.
