In her farewell letter to the Department of Education, outgoing Education Secretary Betsy DeVos defended due process and urged the agency not to fall back on the unfair Title IX practices of the previous administration.
DeVos was able to finalize new regulations regarding how schools adjudicate allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault. The regulations made the process fairer by providing basic due process rights to accused students (like the right to know the exact allegations against them, to have access to the evidence against them, and be able to cross-examine that evidence and witnesses). Activists filed multiple lawsuits against the new regulations and repeatedly lost in court.
