The following is an update from the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR). OCR is the federal agency that administers and enforces the Title IX law and related guidance.

As the Office for Civil Rights continues our comprehensive review of the U.S. Department of Education’s actions under Title IX, the landmark law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in our nation’s schools, we are pleased to share several recent steps—including two taken today.

As Howard University celebrates Pride Month, the Title IX Office both celebrates our LGBTQ+ Bison community and reaffirms the University’s commitment to protecting all members of our community from discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Meeting the needs and protecting the rights of all members of our community will always remain at the forefront of our approach.

During this Pride Month, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, which administers and enforces the federal Title IX law, issued a Notice of Interpretation confirming that it will enforce Title IX’s prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex to include (1) discrimination based on sexual orientation; and (2) discrimination based on gender identity.
