Biden administration to roll back the Betsy DeVos Title IX rules

26 comments

  1. >This new rule will roll back Title IX changes overseen by DeVos. Those regulations narrowly defined sexual harassment, and directed schools to conduct live hearings to allow those who were accused of sexual harassment or assault to cross-examine their accusers.

    >Many advocates argued that practice would discourage victims of sexual misconduct from coming forward. President Joe Biden during his campaign in 2020 promised to nix the Trump administration’s Title IX regulations.

    >The final rule will protect students and employees from sex-based discrimination, such as sexual violence and other forms of sex-based harassment. It would also require schools to have in place measures to offer support to those who make complaints.

    >The rule also sets guidelines for schools, such as treating all forms of sexual discrimination complaints equitably and promptly.

    >The new rule codifies protections for transgender students from sex discrimination. It prohibits discrimination against LGBTQ students and employees based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics.

    …

    >The new rule also protects students, employees and applicants from discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, recovery from pregnancy and other reproductive care.

    >It requires schools to “provide reasonable modifications for students based on pregnancy or related conditions, allow for reasonable break time for lactation for employees, and access to a clean, private lactation space for students and employees,” according to a fact sheet.

  3. Good luck protecting schools against bear attacks now 

  6. More damage being remedied by a real president for all the people of America

  10. Good, Betsy was a horrible person in that position, and clearly was there as appeasement by Trump, to his far-right Billionaire backers.

  12. This will definitely piss off Psychpath Ron DeSantis and his personal Florida fasict legislation. So nice to have a President that works for all of the country and our people, especially children. 

  13. Good. Democrats defending vulnerable minorities and you know….. Doing the right thing.

  14. I’m a title ix investigator for a university. Pleased with the lowering of the threshold standard and expanded protected classes. The rest is kind of tricky. Possibly not having hearings or cross is a due process concern for me. These matters are often very messy and not straight forward, and the consequences can be severe and life altering. I personally don’t think schools should responsible for adjudicating these matters at all, but since we are, I feel like the process can’t be only half way there.

  16. Betsy DeVos was the least qualified person to be Secretary of Education.

    She had no background in education.

    She never attended public school.

    Her children never attended public school.

    She never attended public university.

    Her children never attended public university.

    She never worked in public education.

    Completely unqualified.

    100% maga.

  17. Just in time for the election. Why does this shit take 3.5 years??

  18. Why wait until now? He’s been in office for three years smh.

  20. The Biden administration would be well-advised to roll back every action taken by De Vos. What a terrible person, brought into to lead public education in the United States, yet worked only to impede it.

  22. This shit is so disappointing. Like yes, of course this needed to be done. But going 4 years into your presidency just to do it while you’re on the campaign trail? 

  23. Devos was a piece of shit because she owned a bunch of private schools and tried to destroy public education so she could get more money. Conflict of interest, another way trump failed us appointing her to this position.

  24. Her and her brother are terrible people who have caused death and hatred not only in America but other countries too

  25. There was a lot of obvious nepotism within the Trump admin.

    Devos was by far one of the tops of that list.
