Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has proposed a major overhaul to the way colleges and universities handle sexual misconduct complaints.
How will these proposed changes affect people who are sexually harassed on college campuses?
- What constitutes sexual harassment will be limited, requiring someone to experience severe, repeated, or escalating harassment before they can file a Title IX complaint.
- Schools will not be required to investigate sexual harassment that occurs off-campus at parties, bars, and online.
- Students will have to report to a high ranking university official instead of a teacher or mentor they know.
There is a Notice and Comment Period until January 28, 2019. Please make your voice heard.
