Who has the authority to interpret statutes like Title IX? Ilya Shapiro, senior fellow in constitutional studies at the Cato Institute, outlines a debate over the inclusion of gender identity when applying Title IX. Shapiro considers the recent case of Gloucester County v. G.G., which questions whether courts should give deference to a Department of Education guidance letter that stipulates publically-funded schools must provide facilities to accommodate transgender students.

As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
