Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has said Obama administration guidance on how colleges should handle sexual assault complaints isn’t working and suggested it needs revisions.

She was expected to detail her plans Thursday in what the U.S. Education Department described as a “major policy address on Title IX enforcement.”

Enacted in 1972, Title IX is a federal law that forbids discrimination based on sex in education. It was once seen as a measure to ensure equity in college sports, but in recent years has been associated with efforts to address sexual assault and harassment at college campuses across the country.

The Obama administration reshaped how colleges handle complaints of sexual assault, setting new rules and launching investigations into colleges accused of straying from them.

Hey, Devos, your future actions on this matter will not go well, and your track record, well speaks for itself..................

You should not be an education head, schemes don't work very well, in fact your participation in the Council of National Policy landed you on the list with the Southern Poverty Law Center, what does this tell you about you and your policies

1. I would bet she'll deep-six the subject as if it rarely happens

In an age of passwords, cell phones, encryption there could be double-proof systems of consent or lack there of

The over-sexed media age has made this more complex than it used to be

2. Her change is very simple, give them a broom and a rug. Nt

3. Okay, I'M Scared

And I don't even have kids in college!

4. Surely Princess Ivanka will ride in on her white stallion to make sure women won't be denied avenues

to address assaults on campus...right?

5. If they just make one change it will be a help

That would be changing the standard from a preponderance of evidence to beyond a reasonable doubt.

Even better is to get the campus out of the business entirely.

Rape and sexual assaults are violent major crimes. How is a college equipped to investigate, try and judge them? That should be up to the police and court system. Let the college do what it does best which is educate.

Let the police and courts handle this. The colleges have proven unable to and for good reason - it's not their job.
