Hours after his inauguration, President Joe Biden issued an executive order expanding federal nondiscrimination standards for LGBTQ people that could further protect workers at Syracuse University.
The order affirms that people of LGBTQ identities are protected from employment discrimination based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The order builds a 2020 Supreme Court decision, instructing all federal agencies to interpret sex discrimination policies to also cover discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.
