Education nonprofit warns Biden nominee Lhamon would 'threaten progress' of Trump-era Title IX protections
Fox News
An education nonprofit is warning the Biden administration's commitment to rolling back Title IX's due process protections for individuals accused of sexual harassment on college campuses would erase the progress enacted under the Trump administration.
Title IX is the 1972 law barring discrimination based on sex in education and has been the center of heated debate over penalties for students accused of sexual misconduct at universities across the U.S. Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos enacted new Title IX regulations in 2020 designed to secure the due process rights of students by ensuring that colleges presume a student accused of sexual harassment or assault is innocent until proven guilty. The Biden administration has signaled that it will roll back these regulations in the near future.More Related News
