DeVos' new Title IX rule would require schools to dismiss most reports of violence that occur off- campus, and all that occur outside of the U.S.

Here's why that matters:

Only about 8% of all sexual assaults involving middle school, high school and college students occur on school property.

That means DeVos’ Title IX rule would require schools to dismiss around 92% of all reports of assault.

DeVos' #TitleIX rule would mean students that are assaulted off-campus will either have to share a classroom with their rapist or drop out of the class.

Title IX is meant to protect survivors' right to an education. Instead, this rule would push survivors out of school.

Sexual violence that happens off-campus can have major on-campus impacts for survivors.

Under DeVos' Title IX changes schools can only take action for about 1 in 10 cases of sexual assault for middle, high school, and college students.

If DeVos' changes to Title IX outrage you, take action!
