Senate chairman demands Department of Education ‘immediately rein in’ its Title IX ‘abuses’

Article here. Excerpt:

'Lankford minced no words with King:

"I again call on you personally to clarify that these policies are not required by Title IX, but reflect only one of various ways schools may choose to develop and implement policies for the prevention and remedy of sexual harassment and sexual violence that best meet the needs of their students and are compliant with federal law. I further ask that you immediately rein in the regulatory abuses within the Department of Education and take measures to ensure that all existing and future guidance documents issued by your agency are clearly and firmly rooted in statutory authority."

The senator is greatly annoyed that the department keeps citing its own earlier guidance as justifying its later guidance.'
