WASHINGTON (AP) — Several civil rights organizations are suing Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and her agency over its policy on investigating sexual assault on campuses.
Last year DeVos scrapped Obama-era guidance and replaced it with new instructions that allow universities to require higher standards of evidence when handling complaints.
DeVos said Obama-era directives had “weaponized” the Education Department and were unfairly skewed against those accused of assault.
A suit filed Thursday in federal court in California asks to declare that decision illegal. Alice Abrokwa, an attorney with the National Center for Youth Law, says, “The department has no business creating special one-sided rights that give safe harbor to the accused.”
The Education Department did not return a request for comment.
This is turning into a really nice day, as Drumpf-world continues to implode upon itself from all the dead weight…
Please continue…
It’s not that they didn’t want to; they just couldn’t read or write.
And if Betsy could, it would probably be on tablets that God handed her on Mt. Sinai…
Maybe Mikey Pants picked them up for her?
Prefers DeVos’ version of the rules…
While we are fighting over the wall, daca, t* is systematically getting right wingnut, federalist judges appointed, for a lifetime. All of his cabinet heads have jobs, til jan 2021, and will cont to answer to norquist, evangelicals, racists, homophobes, anti-feminists/anti-lgbt, and 1%. Eventually if these cases ever get to higher courts, federalists will be waiting to knock them down
