DeVos issues rules for sexual misconduct investigations in schools, bolstering protections for the accused
BY J. EDWARD MORENO - 05/06/20 01:11 PM EDT
On Wednesday Education Secretary Betsy DeVos issued final rules on how all schools will address allegations of sexual misconduct, securing new protections for students and faculty accused of misconduct.
The new rules modify Title IX, a 1972 law prohibiting "discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance," narrowing the definition of sexual harassment and requiring schools to challenge evidence and cross-examine students via a live hearing, among other things detailed in the more than 2,000-page rule.
The new regulations, which take effect in August, will only find schools in violation of Title IX if they are determined to be "deliberately indifferent" to accusations of sexual assault that occurred in their programs and activities.

DeVos and the Trump administration have been critical of Title IX, which they have said unjustly puts matters of sexual assault and harassment in the hands of education officials. Republicans were critical of the Obama administration's use of Title IX, which they argue lacked public input.

Fatima Goss Graves, president of the National Women’s Law Center, told The New York Times the organization plans to contest the new rules in court.
