Summary

Chapter 6 discusses Title IX under Secretary DeVos. It begins by describing how the Department of Education quickly broke from its predecessor before recounting the two-year process of promulgating new regulations. It then turns to the first of a two-chapter deeper dive into changes made to Title IX. Here, the chapter focuses on how the new regulations narrow what counts as actionable sexual harassment and weaken oversight of schools by the Department of Education. The chapter contends that most of these changes are deeply problematic and should be reversed.
