Federal Court Strikes Down Biden’s Overtime Expansion: What This Means for Higher Education

November 18, 2024

​A federal judge in Texas has struck down the Biden administration’s overtime expansion rule, which was set to increase the salary threshold for overtime eligibility to $58,656 as of Jan. 1, 2025. 

The ruling, delivered by District Judge Sean D. Jordan—appointed by former President Donald Trump—resets the threshold to $35,568, rolling back the July 1 threshold increase to $43,888 and blocking the Jan. 1 threshold increase that would have impacted an estimated 59,000 employees at colleges and universities across the country.
