"No one should face bullying or discrimination just because of who they are, who they love," Cardona told reporters. "Sadly, this happens all too often.", the 1972 women's rights law that outlaws discrimination based on sex in education. It applies to colleges and elementary and high schools that receive federal money. The update is to take effect in August.
Rep. Virginia Foxx, a Republican from North Carolina and chair of the House Education and the Workforce Committee said the new regulation threatens decades of advancement for women and girls. Chief among the changes is a wider definition of sexual harassment. Schools now must address any unwelcome sex-based conduct that is so "severe or pervasive" that it limits a student's equal access to an education.
As an alternative to live hearings, college officials can interview students separately, allowing each student to suggest questions and get a recording of the responses.
