Title IX is turning 50 tomorrow, and the Biden administration still has not rolled back DeVos’ attacks on student survivors’ rights.
Join us to demand #EDActNow and tell the @usedgov why survivors need a new Title IX rule NOW.
Join us to demand #EDActNow and tell the @usedgov why survivors need a new Title IX rule NOW.
@usedgov Survivors’ lives, futures, and educations depend on the Biden administration acting NOW to undo DeVos’ anti-survivor Title IX rule. Currently, about a third of survivors are pushed out of school.
Biden promised a “quick end'' to DeVos’ Title IX rule, but students may not see a new Title IX rule finalized until 2023 – 3 years after the DeVos rule went into effect. That’s millions of students who have been subjected to DeVos’ Title IX rule because of his admin’s failures.
JUST IN: It has been confirmed that a proposed new #TitleIX rule will be published in April 2022, which will start the public comment period (also known as NPRM--notice for proposed rule-making). This is one month earlier than originally stated.

We want to be clear that this timeline is still late. Students can't wait. Students deserve to have their protections restored immediately.
We have pushed. We have urged. We have protested. We have demanded for #EDActNow, not in April.

Today, on the 49th anniversary of Title IX, ED announced they will begin the process of issuing a proposed Title IX rule. This would alter DeVos’ Title IX rule that continues to harm survivors.
It’s an exciting step, but we have a long road ahead of us:🧵

ED announced they won’t be releasing the proposed rule until May 2022––and then it will go through the same notice and comment period that DeVos’ rule went through.
This means on ED's current timeline we might not have a new rule for years. But survivors can't wait that long.

We know that the most effective way to make change for survivors is through organizing. So here are 2 ways to plug in to organizing.

"I didn't feel like a student, I felt like a liability... in my Title IX process, I learned that schools will do anything to protect themselves, not survivors."
DeVos' rule prioritizes schools' bottom lines over survivors' access to education, that's why it has to go #EDActNow

Title IX Coordinators are joining the listening sessions to share that requiring schools to alter their campus policies within 3 months made it impossible for schools to work with stakeholders, especially students, to try and implement best practices under the regulations.
This morning, we released a report drawing from our survey of over 100 student survivors who reported to their schools.
Our report outlines the alarming backlash survivors are facing when filing formal reports of sexual violence to their schools. Thread:

We found that 39% of survivors who reported to their schools experienced a substantial disruption in their educations.
These educational interruptions were not from sexual violence alone, but because of violence exacerbated by schools’ harmful responses to reports of violence.
These educational interruptions were not from sexual violence alone, but because of violence exacerbated by schools’ harmful responses to reports of violence.
When survivors report to their school, instead of receiving support, they are blamed for the violence, told the school will do nothing, face name calling by school officials, have their cases drawn out for years, and get punished for their own assaults after seeking help.
