Rethinking Policies on Campus Rape

Civil Rights Practice Group and Regulatory Transparency Project Teleforum

This Teleforum will explore the controversy that began in 2011, when the Obama Administration revolutionized campus discipline by ordering universities to increase the number of sexual assault reports and, some argue, to virtually presume the guilt of accused students. Rather than leaving allegations of sexual assault to law enforcement, the administration ordered colleges to change policies. Now Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has started to criticize and dismantle the mandates, in the name of due process for accusers and accused alike. Some politicians and many academic leaders have, as with one voice, assailed DeVos. Where will this debate go next?
