New draft federal rules on how educational institutions are to investigate allegations of sexual assault were announced Friday, and it seems U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is following the lead of President Donald Trump by bolstering policies to provide additional protections for the accused. The rules, which have been anticipated since guidelines developed by the Obama administration were scrapped by DeVos last year, will be the nation’s first codified requirements on how schools meet the legal obligations of Title IX — the 1972 law prohibiting sex discrimination in programs receiving federal funding.
