Under Trump, Schools Tells to Change Sexual Misconduct, Title IX Guidance

The recent decision by the Education Department to revert to policies from President Trump’s first term regarding sexual misconduct cases in K-12 schools and colleges has sparked a heated debate among stakeholders in the education sector. The move, outlined in a notice sent out on Friday, aims to limit schools’ liability in such cases and provide stronger rights to students accused of sexual harassment and assault.

Under the revised guidance issued on Friday, educators are instructed to adopt new standards for enforcing codes against sexual violence and harassment on campus. These standards have been subject to frequent changes over the past four administrations, creating a sense of uncertainty and inconsistency in how schools handle such sensitive issues.

The old rules, implemented in 2018, relaxed the standards by which schools were assessed for liability in sexual misconduct cases. They also introduced new requirements for live hearings where accusers and the accused could cross-examine each other, including through legal representation. While proponents of these rules argue that they provide essential due process protections for students accused of serious offenses, critics claim that they retraumatize victims and give schools too much leeway in resolving such cases.

The recent decision to revert to the 2020 rules comes in response to a federal judge’s ruling blocking the Biden administration’s revisions to Title IX, particularly concerning protections for transgender students. The letter sent out by the Education Department cites President Trump’s executive authority as justification for the immediate implementation of the old standards, bypassing the traditional rule-making process.

Advocates for due process rights have welcomed the move, emphasizing the importance of fair treatment and procedural safeguards for all students involved in sexual misconduct cases. Tyler Coward, a lead counsel at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, praised the decision for ensuring that both the accused and the accuser have access to legal representation and the right to cross-examine witnesses.

However, critics of the rules, including Emma Grasso Levine from Know Your IX, have expressed disappointment over the decision, arguing that it leaves survivors of sexual violence, LGBTQ+ students, and pregnant and parenting students without adequate accommodations and protections. They urge schools to take proactive measures to safeguard students in the absence of federal guidance.

Overall, the debate surrounding Title IX enforcement and policies related to sexual misconduct in schools continues to evolve, with stakeholders on both sides advocating for the rights and protections of all students involved in such cases. As schools navigate these complex issues, it is essential to prioritize fairness, due process, and support for survivors of sexual violence.
