Following the U.S. Department of Education’s publication of the final Title IX regulation, RALIANCE issued the following statement:
“We are deeply disappointed in the Department of Education’s final Title IX regulations released today that roll back protections for survivors of campus sexual harassment, misconduct and abuse. The new rule will make America’s college campuses and K-12 schools less safe, and we are troubled that despite more than 100,000 comments submitted by RALIANCE and others with expertise in sexual assault prevention and response expressing grave concern about the new rule, it was still released today.”
