About this episode

Perhaps you've followed the controversy about the most recent set of proposed changes to Title IX, the rules that define equality based on sex in education. The changes were originally offered in June of 2022, but it wasn't until April of this year that the final proposed changes came out. Colleges were given until August 1 of this year to comply, so this topic certainly has some urgency to it. Today on Giving Ventures, we're going to dive into those proposals to understand what they are, why so many conservatives (but not just conservatives) take issue with the revisions, and what various nonprofit groups are doing to challenge the legality of these changes in court.
