Ramaswamy has since left the effort to run for governor of Ohio. The GOP House congressional leadership supports the effort and created an Oversight Subcommittee for Delivering on Government Efficiency. However, opponents to the effort quickly mobilized as multiple lawsuits were filed immediately after Trump's swearing in, challenging the legality of the DOGE under the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

Jan. 29, 2025: EO issued directing several agencies, including the Department of Education, to develop an "ending indoctrination strategy."

Department of Education Reinstates Previous Title IX Rule on Sexual Harassment, Rescinds Guidance on Name, Image and Likeness

Full Text: Letter
The Department of Education stated in a letter that the 2020 Title IX rule on sexual harassment is once again in effect after the courts vacated a similar rule finalized in 2024 to replace the 2020 rule. Notably, the 2020 rule contains provisions that outline how schools and universities must handle allegations of sexual assault and harassment, including giving accused students a written notice of allegations, the right to an advisor, and the right to submit, cross-examine and challenge evidence at a live or virtual hearing. Schools may choose between two standards of evidence when adjudicating complaints: the "preponderance of the evidence" standard or the "clear and convincing evidence" standard. The 2020 rule also expanded the definition of "sexual harassment" to include sexual assault, dating violence and stalking, among other provisions.
In a separate action, the department rescinded January 2024 guidance related to name, image and likeness activities under Title IX. The previous guidance was the first of its kind for NIL activities. It is unclear whether the department will issue new guidance or promulgate a rule. Under the previous guidance, any compensation a school provided for a student-athlete's NIL was to be considered as athletic financial assistance, which must be provided proportionally to male and female student-athletes.
