One of the bill's co-sponsors claimed she tried to appeal to DeVos before filing the bill.
Democratic lawmakers introduced on Tuesday a bill aimed at stopping Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos from implementing changes to Title IX regulation they consider harmful to victims of sexual misconduct on college campuses.
In November 2018, the Education Department announced changes to Title IX regulation that would alter how schools handle reports of sexual misconduct, including the conditions of their response and liability. The bill, co-sponsored by Representatives Elissa Slotkin, Ayanna Pressley, Jackie Speier and Annie Kuster, would prohibit DeVos from implementing or enforcing the changes.
"I have done everything I can think of to appeal to Secretary DeVos to change course," Slotkin said."Given that Secretary DeVos insists on moving forward, I felt compelled to introduce this legislation that prevents those rules from taking effect." "The fair and equitable resolution of sexual harassment cases is rarely accomplished through a one-size-fits-all, factory-like process," the ACE wrote in a letter to DeVos in January."Institutions require and should be granted the flexibility to treat different cases differently, adjusting their approaches as needed to address the distinct circumstances of individual cases, so long as principles of accuracy, equity, and fairness are upheld.
