ICYMI: 5 ways Betsy DeVos’s new Title IX rule will make schools more dangerous for all students (from @nwlc)
1) Ignores victims - Schools will be allowed to dismiss sexual harassment complaints by students https://nwlc.org/blog/the-new-title-ix-rule-is-dangerous-for-all-students-thats-why-were-suing-betsy-devos-again/

2) Mistreats victims - Even if a sexual harassment complaint isn’t dismissed, schools will still be allowed to treat the victim poorly...so long as the school’s response is not clearly unreasonable https://nwlc.org/blog/the-new-title-ix-rule-is-dangerous-for-all-students-thats-why-were-suing-betsy-devos-again/
3) Unfair investigative procedures - If a sexual harassment victim can get an investigation, a school will still be allowed—and in many cases, required—to use unfair, retraumatizing procedures https://nwlc.org/blog/the-new-title-ix-rule-is-dangerous-for-all-students-thats-why-were-suing-betsy-devos-again/
4) Harmful responses - Schools will be allowed to provide other harmful responses to sexual harassment, such as coercing survivors into participating in mediation with their assailants in student-on-student cases https://nwlc.org/blog/the-new-title-ix-rule-is-dangerous-for-all-students-thats-why-were-suing-betsy-devos-again/
No notice of religious exemptions - Religious schools that intend to discriminate based on sex won’t have to tell students that they are claiming a religious right to violate Title IX. This will especially harm women and girls & LGBTQ students https://nwlc.org/blog/the-new-title-ix-rule-is-dangerous-for-all-students-thats-why-were-suing-betsy-devos-again/
