Title IX

It is politically easy for an incoming Democratic team to reject their predecessors' work. What would be remarkable, however, is if they can achieve new victories while also building upon the advances of those who came before.

Barrett wrote an appellate decision last year that made it easier for students accused of committing campus sexual assaults to challenge their university's handling of the cases.

A former victim of the Obama administration's on-campus Title IX policies argues that the Trump administration is right to correct course.

The legal challenge backed by four groups representing student survivors of sexual assaults claims the changes violate the Constitution.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' highly criticized changes weaken protections for survivors of campus sexual assault and threaten the progress of the #MeToo movement.

The new guidelines, which will go into effect on August 14, include changes that narrow the definition of what can be deemed sexual harassment and require in-person cross-examinations between alleged perpetrators and their accusers.

Critics claimed it could have a "chilling effect" on student's confiding in employees they trust.

One of the bill's co-sponsors claimed she tried to appeal to DeVos before filing the bill.

"We have made consent out to be something straightforward, as straightforward as the single word no, but we are lying to ourselves and one another about this."

"Schools are taking better measures to protect confidentiality and make the experience less intimidating. But it's difficult to understand exactly how hard it is to come forward unless you've been through it."

A Texas A&M senior who was accused of sexual assault and was suspended in 2016 filed a Title IX lawsuit against the university in Houston federal court for "illegal bias against male students."

I brought my daughter Ellie to meet DeVos last year and hoped she would support her rights. She didn't.

The department offered 45 voluntary buyouts to civil rights office employees as of late last year.

Advocacy groups tried to hand-deliver 80,000 failing report cards to DeVos.

The secretary has said that prior guidance didn't protect the due process rights of the accused.

The Seventh Court found Tuesday that the school district was likely violating Ash Whitaker's rights as guaranteed through Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Constitution.

The university said it wanted to stay out of politics, but law professor Michele Dauber called the debate a free-speech issue.

The accused is denied the right of cross-examination, even though he faces dire sanctions.
