.@BetsyDeVosED: You removed the recommended 60-day investigatory timeline. Schools are now free to continue to delay investigations for an unspecified time without an end in sight. #TakeBackIX
.@BetsyDeVosED: According to your definition of sexual harassment, survivors will have to endure repeated levels of abuse in order for their schools to take them seriously. #TakeBackIX
.@BetsyDeVosED: 34% of students who have been sexually assaulted drop out of college. With your new rules on #TitleIX, schools will become more dangerous, shielded from accountability, and cause further harm to survivors. #TakeBackIX
.@BetsyDeVosED: These dangerous new Title IX rules will make it harder for sexual assault survivors to come forward, requiring schools to ignore student and deny them fair treatment. #TakeBackIX
.@BetsyDeVosED: Survivors shouldn't be questioned by their perpetrator's "advisor of choice". It's manipulative and re-traumatizing. #TakeBackIX
.@BetsyDeVosED: This is our reminder to you that you NEVER spent a day as an educator. You have done a disservice to student survivors with these dangerous rules. You need to #TakeBackIX
.@BetsyDeVosED: Reporting to a professor, residential advisor, coach, or any other person who isn't a #TitleIX coordinator allows schools to ignore complaints. You have removed the very person that a student may trust. This will cause a decrease in reporting. #TakeBackIX
.@BetsyDeVosED: By allowing the Title IX rule to go into effect, you are sending a clear message that you do not support survivors. You are allowing schools to sweep rape, assault, and harassment under the rug. #TakeBackIX
We are entering the Red Zones, where more than 50% of college sexual assaults occur in either August, September, October, or November. The new Title IX rules will increase this statistic if we don't tell @BetsyDeVosED to #TakeBackIX
One study found that 73% of LGBTQ college students experience sexual harassment or abuse and more than 6% of LGBTQ college students change their school or major as a result. These new Title IX rules will cause further harm. Tell Betsy to #TakeBackIX.
New research suggests that roughly 19% to 31% of male college students experience some degree of unwanted sexual contact. These new rules will allow perpetrators to get away with sexual assault. Tell Betsy to #TakeBackIX.
For every one Black woman who reports, 15 do not. With the new Title IX rule, this number will increase. If we don't tell @BetsyDeVosED to #TakeBackIX.
Student survivors with disabilities are TWO TIMES more likely to be sexually assaulted than a student survivor with no disabilities. This number will increase, if we don't Tell Betsy to #TakeBackIX.
According to the Title IX rules, students who study abroad will not be protected by the rule because the sexual assault took place "outside of the United States" despite the study abroad program being an "education program or activity". Tell Betsy to #TakeBackIX.
Sexual violence can jeopardize a person’s economic well-being and can lead to homelessness, unemployment, interrupted education, and mental and physical health issues. Tell Betsy to #TakeBackIX.
Thank you @endrapeoncampus & @ItsOnUs for putting together these resources and social media posts to make it easier for us to stand together & be LOUD during this day of action. #TakeBackIX
