Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers joined Gov. Jim Pillen in criticizing a proposed federal Title IX regulation. State leaders argued that the proposal would reshape long-standing rules in ways they oppose and would force schools to adopt policies they say conflict with Nebraska’s legal and policy positions.
Their statements framed the proposal as federal overreach and part of a broader national dispute over education policy, athletics and sex-based legal protections.
Nebraska officials said they would continue pushing back against the regulation and supporting legal and political efforts to challenge it.
