Schools getting money from the Energy Department no longer have to follow specific sex discrimination rules

The Energy Department cancelled some rules about sex discrimination for schools and programs that get its money. This means those schools no longer have to follow those specific federal requirements.

The Energy Department used to require schools it funded to follow specific rules against sex discrimination. Now it does not. This change reduces federal oversight for these programs, allowing them to set their own policies on these issues without federal intervention from the Energy Department.
