DeVos prepping new rules on sexual misconduct standards for campuses: report
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is formulating new policies regarding how universities handle sexual assault and harassment cases.
The new rules would increase protections for students accused of sexual misconduct, reduce liability for colleges and universities and encourage schools to broaden their support networks for victims, according to The New York Times.
The rules would reportedly limit accountability for schools to complaints that happened on campus and were filed through proper authorities. They would also raise the bar legally for proving a school mishandled a complaint, according to the Times.
The move comes while multiple universities are facing allegations that staff members failed to properly act when made aware of sexual misconduct.
