Today the U.S. Department of Education officially proposed new sexual misconduct regulations to Title IX that would significantly harm students across the country by making it much harder for them to report sexual assault and harassment.
The proposed regulations are even worse than what was expected based on a draft that was leaked in August. Today’s announced proposal directly attacks equality in education, attempts to undo decades of civil rights progress, and disproportionately harms students who are at highest risk of sexual violence: women of color and LGBTQI students.
