McMahon’s Title IX Comments Cause Confusion, Concerns

Sexual violence prevention groups say that recent comments from Linda McMahon about Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 muddied the waters over how President Donald Trump and his administration plan to address sexual harassment on college campuses. At her confirmation hearing last week, McMahon reiterated that Title IX should protect students from assault, but she didn’t seem familiar with the nuances of the regulations that Trump put in place during his first administration, which are now in effect after a federal judge tossed out the Biden administration’s revised Title IX rule.
