## Summary

**Reinforcing Title IX's promise of equal educational opportunity.** This resolution would celebrate gains under Title IX and call for strong enforcement by the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights while condemning efforts to weaponize Title IX against transgender and nonconforming students. - Women and girls: Would highlight higher high school and college graduation rates, wider access to professional schools and athletics, and note remaining barriers in STEM fields and fair athletic investment. - LGBTQIA+ students: Would condemn attempts to use Title IX to exclude transgender, intersex, and nonbinary students and urges protections for sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics. - Pregnant and parenting students: Would call for protections against discrimination related to pregnancy and related conditions. - Survivors of sexual harassment and assault: Would push for Office for Civil Rights resources to respond to sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and sex-based stalking. - Schools and enforcement: Would oppose transferring Title IX enforcement to the Department of Justice as unlawful and ill-suited and warn such a transfer would fragment enforcement and cause confusion for institutions.
