As you read DeVos' proposed Title IX regs remember: 3 MILLION college students will be sexually assaulted btwn Aug-Nov. Most will be 1st year women attending parties at upperclass men's off-campus housing. Under DeVos' rules, these women can't file complaints w/ their school.
87 percent of college students live off-campus. When DeVos excludes off-campus assault in Title IX regulations, she's excluding the majority of students & the majority of night life that exists on campuses.
"This is really just saying that ‘it doesn’t matter that you were assaulted three minutes off campus. You still have to share a classroom with your rapist,'" @Sage_Gaea told me.

A woman claims that SC nominee Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape her with the help of his friend when the three were in high school. (FWIW this is a great example of when reporters need to be specific with sexual violence wording in headlines) newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
He attempted to rape her. Let's say that instead of "sexual misconduct."
Kavanaugh responded: “I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time.”

Everyone. Needs. To. Read. This.

More specifically, every man in my life needs to read this. vox.com/2018/9/10/1782…
"I am but half-woke, still reckoning with the instincts and perspectives my upbringing wrote into my code. But I think I can do a decent job explaining, for my more skeptical dude readers... the rudiments of #MeToo — just what it is women see that many men do not."
"It goes like this: Sexual discrimination, harassment, and abuse are everywhere. They are not isolated cases, not rare, and not confined to the powerful or famous. They constitute an ongoing, systemic crisis. #MeToo is meant to draw attention to that crisis...

Former @michiganstateu athletic director George Perles (and current trustee) reportedly covered up the accusations, according to a federal lawsuit filed Monday. huffingtonpost.com/entry/larry-na… #LarryNassar
This entire story is completely fucked: The survivor was 17 & a virgin at the time she says Nassar raped her. She later became pregnant and miscarried.
She later lost her field hockey scholarship & currently suffers from anxiety and depression, including a 1993 suicide attempt -- a year after she says Nassar raped her.

salon.com/2018/11/16/bet… From yesterday: DeVos’s proposed Title IX regs are worse than I feared. They’re geared around the goal of making victims decide that reporting is too traumatic or impossible to be bothered with.
DeVos consulted misogynist hate groups heavily to write these rules, and it shows. The proposed rules reflect the thinking of men who have spent a lifetime thinking about how to manipulate legal systems to prevent women from getting justice.
DeVos has bilked the taxpayers for $20 million to pay for her round-the-clock security detail. She clearly takes her own safety seriously. But the girls and women trying to get an education? They are expected to fend for themselves.

There are a lot of reasons to hate the false allegation narrative that swirls around about sexual assault and intimate partner violence--the one #DeVos uses so often. I want to talk about a problem we don't often discuss: how the false allegation narrative hurts men.
As part of my dissertation research, I interviewed a male victim of domestic violence. We spoke at length about his hesitations in accessing campus resources. The most severe? That he would get "Title IX'd."
This means he worried that since he was a man accessing Title IX resources, the only way they would know how to treat him was as a perpetrator. He worried he would be investigated and expelled for walking into a Title IX resource, even though he was the victim.

WASHINGTON — Continuing its efforts to ensure equal access to education free from discrimination, today the U.S. Department of Education released its proposal on improving schools' responses to sexual harassment and assault.
The proposed regulation under Title IX, the federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities that receive federal funding, was developed after more than a year of research, deliberation,

Kavanaugh hearings start soon. As I said last night I'll tweet as I can.

A reminder. This is not a criminal trial no matter what the right says.
The committee room is coming to order. Grassley likes to start things on time so I expect we'll be gaveled to order real quick here
Grassley gavels the proceedings to order. Begins with a lecture on civility and apologies to both Ford and Kavanaugh for how they have been treated.

Says he wants the proceedings to be safe and comfortable for both witnesses

Opinion | What the Supreme Court battle suggests about culture wars - by Jennifer Ruben

#Women #WomensRights #Democrats #progressives #liberals #UniteBlue #BlueWave
"[] the debate surrounding the nomination has reminded us the degree to which social conservatives have lost on key cultural issues. The only way they reverse those defeats is by guaranteeing a Supreme Court majority at odds with the sentiments of voters."
"That creates a unique problem for Republicans, and an unexpected opportunity for Democrats."


Please read in full. Thanks.

DeVos: Schools should decide whether to report undocumented kids [to ICE]
politico.com/story/2018/05/…

N͟o͟.

"Any public school…that denies an education to any undocumented child…by reporting a child to ICE has violated the United States Constitution." See: maldef.org/news/releases/…
"MALDEF stands ready to hold accountable through legal challenge anyone in public education who attempts to report a student to ICE.”
Congressional @HispanicCaucus publicly renouncing horribly inaccurate statement by Secretary #DeVos, that schools could call ICE on their students. (That'd be unconstitutional.)
