The Education Department proposed new rules Friday that would further roll back the provisions of Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination at schools. The new rules would severely narrow the definition of sexual harassment, diminish the liability of schools and provide additional protections for those accused of sexual assault or misconduct—potentially allowing them to cross-examine their accusers through an intermediary. A group of so-called mens’ rights groups reportedly lobbied Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to pass the new rules.
