The Trump Administration’s New Regulations On Campus Sexual Assault Have Just Taken Effect. What Will Biden Do About That If Elected?

'While the Trump administration has been awful about following the Administrative Procedure Act (and, as a result, has had many of its policies struck down by the courts) it has been far better than the Obama administration concerning Title IX. It revoked the OCR letters and, as of last Friday, replaced them with a detailed set of rules that were subject to vigorous public comment. Substantively, while imperfect, they are a vast improvement.

It pushed an inquisitorial model, where one investigator could decide which witnesses to interview, what to ask them, and how to weigh the evidence. That person could decide guilt or innocence and expel a student as a sex offender without the student having any real idea of what the evidence against him was.'
