In a first step in reversing a political controversy implemented during the presidency of his predecessor, State Attorney Joe Bien ordered the lunes to his governor to revise federal standards governing universities in his case of sexual harassment on campus.
In an executive order, Biden instructed the Department of Education to revise the rules passed by President Donald Trump’s governor in Title IX, the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on a person’s education. The mandate signaled that the agency should “consider suspending, reviewing or rescinding” any policy that does not protect students.
The mandate also forms a second executive order that formally establishes the General Council of Policies of the White House, which has been announced by its transition team to assume the cargo.
“The policy of this governing body is that every individual, every student, just education, free sexual violence, and all those involved have access to a fair trial,” commented Jennifer Klein, co-president and executive director of the Council of Généro politicians, to reporters during a conference in the White House.
The ordinances will be issued in advance of the discourse that Biden will announce later on Monday to commemorate the International Day of Women, a global event that marks the logos of women.
It is anticipated that Biden will release both mediocre tips to focus on gender equality during its campaign and previously promised to give an “immediate” end to the standards that were suspended this year by the Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos.
The policy implemented by DeVos has large changes in the way that universities respond to sexual harassment and abuse, with provisions that increase the rights of the abused and reduce the market of cases that abusive schools abort. The media is looking at a 180-degree turn with respect to former President Barack Obama’s directors, which focuses on protecting the victims of inappropriate sexual conduct.
In other cases, the standards of DeVos reduce the definition of sexual harassment in the legal liability of universities that investigate inappropriate sexual conduct accusations and give students the right to interrogate their accusers through an audience representative. llevaban a cabo en los kampus.
The order of Biden’s revision of the policies pursued by civil rights groups, the signals that DeVos’ policy has had an escalating effect on reports of sexual abuse, and also by universities, that they rule Excessively prescribers and onerosas of seguir.
“This is an important step”, commented Shiwali Patel, deputy principal of Centro Nacional de Leyes de la Mujer. “The amendments to the standards of Title IX that are implemented during the Trump administration go all out, and are in force,” he added.
Although the orden plants the probability of having an important change in politics, it is likely that it will increase rapidly. Any intention to rewrite the standards of DeVos tends to go through a federal normative process that can take years to complete. For example, DeVos will be late in retrieving the directives implemented by Obama and finalizing his proposed set of rules.
Thus, Republicans oppose Biden’s action and defend the DeVos rules.
