Every month, we distribute a “Title IX Recap,” providing a highlight of the previous month’s litigation, advocacy, and other Title IX-related matters. As always, more information on any lawsuits by accused students or Title IX OCR resolutions will be found in our Accused Students Database and OCR Resolutions Database respectively.
The Biden administration’s new Title IX rulemaking process is scheduled for April 2022.
Statement by the U.S. Department of Education here.
UMBC pays $450,000 to settle defamation case of ex-baseball players who were accused of rape
“Ron Schwartz, one of the attorneys representing the trio, confirmed Thursday that school officials agreed to pay the three men $150,000 each and would move to remove their names from an online article detailing the rape allegations that ran in the college’s student-run newspaper, The Retriever.”
The Return of Catherine Lhamon Is Another Biden Betrayal
“Lhamon, however, seemed not to care how her policies had harmed innocent students. Reflecting on her 2013–2016 tenure, she denied any “need to course-correct,” preposterously claiming that ‘we had been aggressive in protecting accused students’ rights already.’” The legal and policy backlash to Lhamon’s legacy, ironically, set the stage for last year’s Title IX regulations.
The “1 In 4 Women Will Be Sexually Assaulted in College” Statistic Is Actually A Lie
“The authors of the study themselves warned that the methodology was flawed and was a non-representative sample of people that could not be extrapolated to anything beyond their very narrow frame.”
Syracuse students want Planned Parenthood to teach students about sexual assault
“Generally, the manifesto directs that anyone accused of virtually anything to be immediately excluded from places on campus and excluded from most campus activities,” Andrew Miltenberg told The College Fix during a phone interview. He said his firm has had “about 30-40 Title IX matters at Syracuse.” “If Syracuse were to implement policies as written in this manifesto, I would expect that within the next 4-6 months, I would be suing Syracuse,” Miltenberg said.
SWSSU members hold protest outside Phi Kappa Psi house alleging sexual assault
“Kick him out, kick him out,” the protesters chanted. “Alleged my ass, alleged my ass.”
Weary of the Title IX process, student leaders look to self-adjudicate accusations of sexual misconduct
Hamilton College’s Director of Student Activities Noelle Niznik: “most of us want to err on the side of believing the student who is alleging that something happened.”
This Time We’re Ready: The Re-Appointment of Catherine Lhamon
“We know what we are getting in Catherine Lhamon and, more important, we know to stand watch, to be prepared, and to fight back at her every attempt to violate the civil rights of students.”
Catherine Lhamon and How We Got Here
Catherine Lhamon returns to head the Office for Civil Rights. It’s time to ask the question: how did we get here?
