this woman and her administration are ruining students' lives.
in 2017, i reported a student who had been stalking me. thanks to incentives set by Obama legislation, the Stanford title ix office quickly issued a no-contact order. here's what would have happened today:

according to DeVos's new legislation, schools only have to respond to incidents on campus or "within their program or activity." since my harasser bought a knife and threatened to kill himself, me, and my friends in Pleasanton, my case might have been ignored.
thanks to DeVos's new legislation, the complainant and the responding party can ask each other questions in the hearing process. when i went through the title ix process, i did not have to talk to my harasser -- the title ix office mediated a "non-hearing resolution."
but i guess now i'd get to hear my harasser ask questions such as, "why won't you let me come inside your room after i waited outside your door for hours?" i really don't think i would have reported him if i would have to interact with him more.
the new title ix legislation "balances the scales of justice on campuses across America" by relaxing requirements to keep students safe. sure, we'll see reported numbers of harassment & sexual assault go down, but that's not because the harassment isn't happening...
my friend & fellow @sheplusplus team member, @krithiyerr, wrote this enlightening op-ed on the new title ix legislation: stanforddaily.com. thank you to all the people who fight for survivors' protections and rights.
