U.S. Colleges Required to Reinstate Trump-Era Sexual Assault Policies
January 31, 2025 - 19:04
In a significant shift, the Education Department has mandated that schools and universities adhere to sexual misconduct policies established during the Trump administration. This new guidance, released on Friday, emphasizes the need for institutions to implement live hearings in response to complaints of sexual assault, along with enhanced protections for accused students.
These changes aim to create a more balanced approach to handling allegations of sexual misconduct on campuses, reflecting the controversial policies set forth by former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. Critics argue that these measures may undermine the protections for victims, while supporters believe they ensure fairness in the investigative process.
Colleges and universities are now tasked with revising their procedures to align with the latest directives, which could significantly impact how sexual assault cases are processed. As institutions scramble to adapt to these requirements, the broader implications for student safety and due process are drawing national attention.
