Title IX Update: On April 19th, 2024, the U.S. Department of Education published a final rule governing Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded educational programs. FAIR previously filed public comments on two proposed Title IX rules: one governs sex-based discrimination in educational programs in general, and the other governs sex-based discrimination in the context of sports. (https://lnkd.in/gkeFvphm + https://lnkd.in/gWu_uCcX) In order to provide a timely update to our community, we have drafted the info sheet below on the Final Rule. It includes our brief explanation of the history of Title IX and the portions of the Final Rule that we feel will be of the greatest interest to our members.

As we reflect on the anniversary of the School Desegregation Ruling, we recognize the progress made in advancing equality in education. However, there are still ongoing remnants of discrimination that demand our attention and action. At May Jung Law, we are committed to fighting against all forms of discrimination, especially in education. Latinx/Hispanic and Black students in California’s Orange Unified School District (“OUSD”) face disproportionate rates of discipline, a stark reminder that our work towards true equality is far from over. With the support of renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump, we are dedicated to seeking justice and rightful compensation for these students as we lead a class action lawsuit to seek justice and compensation for affected students. Join us in raising awareness and taking action against these injustices. Together, we can create a future where every student receives fair treatment, opportunities, and the chance to thrive.

In the meantime, school officials are scrambling to understand which portions of the regulations apply in their states. - USA TODAY, Kayla Jimenez, & Zachary Schermele Read more: ➡ https://lnkd.in/e8YUvGFE #TitleIX #TIXS #TitleIX2024 #USAToday

As one of the most important legislative achievements of the 20th century, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended "Jim Crow" and demanded fundamental fairness in American life. It was passed sixty years ago #OTD in 1964. The Act barred unequal voter registration requirements that blocked access to vote, banned discrimination on the basis of "race, color, religion, or national origin" in certain public places, in public education, and federally-assisted programs, and it banned discrimination in employment.
