Senate education committee deadlocks on Biden’s nominee for civil rights head
A Senate committee Tuesday did not advance the nomination of Catherine Lhamon, the White House’s choice to lead the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.
The governor’s due process hypocrisy: Compare the tribunals under Gov. Cuomo’s campus sex assault law with the AG’s investigation
“the governor now portrays himself as the victim of a ‘biased’ review process…Unlike the Cuomo of this week, in 2015 the governor was adamant on the need to protect complainants, even if it meant tilting procedures unfairly in their favor.”
Growing Opposition, Both Liberal and Conservative, to the Nomination of Catherine Lhamon
Following OCR’s Title IX Public Hearing, “three media outlets, five non-profit groups, and seven individual commentators — reflecting both liberal and conservative perspectives — came out in opposition to the Lhamon nomination.”
Judge Strikes Down Provision of Title IX Rule
“A federal judge largely upheld a controversial 2020 final rule on Title IX promulgated by former secretary of education Betsy DeVos, but he struck down a key provision that prohibits colleges adjudicating sexual misconduct allegations from considering statements not subject to cross-examination.”
REPORT: New Title IX regulations bolstered due process at colleges, but Lhamon nomination threatens progress
“A new report from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education examines the gains realized since Title IX regulations went into effect last year — improvements that could vanish if Lhamon is confirmed.”
2nd Former Iowa Schools Employee Found Dead Amid Allegations of Sexual Misconduct with Students
“Authorities say a former associate principal found dead Thursday died from a self-inflicted gunshot as officers prepared to serve search and arrest warrants in his home”
Opinion: This Biden nomination should reignite national debate on campus rape
“That debate was inevitably politicized, with Democrats largely arguing for victims’ rights and Republicans by and large arguing for robust protections of due process. (Which, interestingly, is the opposite of the stance those parties usually take on crime.)”
The OCR Investigations Database is Relaunched with Massive Improvements
“This database systematically tracks OCR’s Title IX investigations in both higher and lower ed and provides a suite of interactive tools – visual reports, files, tables, maps, search engines, and more.”
