After a year of deliberation, the Education Department is poised to release new guidelines governing investigations of sexual harassment and assault on college campuses. Secretary Betsy DeVos rescinded the chaos-inducing Obama-era guidelines last September and set out to reform the rules to establish some semblance of due process protections for the accused. Her department appears to be taking a big step in the right direction.
The New York Times reported on Wednesday afternoon that the Education Department secretary is revising Title IX standards for addressing cases of sexual harassment and assault on college campuses.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is preparing to release new rules strengthening protections for students accused of sexual assault on campus and lightening the burden placed on schools, according to a person familiar with the contents.
