President Joe Biden will sign two executive orders Monday to ensure his administration keeps its promise to promote gender equality, including an order to evaluate the current policy guidelines for Title IX , the federal civil rights law that upholds gender equity in education.

Administration officials told reporters on a Sunday night call that Biden plans to sign two executive orders, including one that will establish a Gender Policy Council within the Executive Office of the President. The second order will direct the U.S. Department of Education to review existing Title IX guidelines, which regulate sexual assault investigations on K-12 and college campuses, to ensure consistency with the Biden-Harris administrations policy that students be guaranteed education free from sexual violence, an administration official said.

Biden will sign both executive orders on March 8 to coincide with International Womens Day.
