Trump administration rescinds Obama-era campus sexual assault guidance

The Trump administration on Friday rescinded Obama-era guidance on investigating campus sexual assault allegations, issuing a question-and-answer document in its place while the Education Department conducts a review of Title IX responsibilities and compliance.

“This interim guidance will help schools as they work to combat sexual misconduct and will treat all students fairly,” said Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. “Schools must continue to confront these horrific crimes and behaviors head-on. There will be no more sweeping them under the rug.”
