Quick Glance: Biden Administration Expands Title IX Protection for LGBTQ Students, Assault Victims

- These changes have sparked mixed reviews and controversy, with supporters praising the increased safety for students while critics argue that the new regulations infringe on due process rights and expressive freedoms.
