Key Points

This official statement celebrates the 54th anniversary of Title IX, which is a law that stops schools from treating people unfairly based on their sex. It highlights how the law has helped more women and girls graduate from college and play sports over the last five decades.
The proposal criticizes recent actions by Trump to move the job of making sure schools follow Title IX from the Department of Education to the Department of Justice. Supporters of this statement argue the Justice Department does not have the right experience to handle student complaints.
It also speaks out against efforts to limit protections for transgender students and students who do not follow traditional gender roles. The statement claims these changes hurt vulnerable students and weaken programs meant to promote diversity and inclusion.
The statement points out that women and girls still face challenges, such as sexual harassment on campus and getting less money for college sports compared to men. It calls on the government to do more to protect students from bullying and unfair treatment.
