(The Center Square) – Requests by the federal government to vacate injunctions over the Biden administration’s controversial Title IX rule have been blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The 5-4 ruling Friday means the injunctions preventing implementation of the new rule in 26 states will be allowed to remain in force until the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals takes up the case in October.
