On January 9, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky ruled that the Biden administration's Title IX Final Rule is unconstitutional for all schools nationwide. As a result of this decision, MCAD will withdraw its current Title IX policy. In the interim and on advice from our legal counsel, MCAD will reinstate the 2020 Title IX Regulations to ensure compliance with federal requirements.
