What happened
Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced the formation of a Title IX Special Investigations Team, in the Department of Education’s upload of May 22, 2025. According to the department’s description, the Education Department is partnering with the U.S. Department of Justice to form the team, to ensure rapid and consistent investigations; the department stated that from day one the administration has prioritized enforcing Title IX to protect female students and athletes, as it framed the effort.
Why it matters
The joint team institutionalizes McMahon’s Title IX enforcement push: investigations run with the Justice Department rather than by the Education Department’s civil rights office alone, aimed, in the department’s stated terms, at speed and consistency across cases.
