Former Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that if hes elected president, he will reverse a rule issued by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos aimed at bolstering protections for students who are accused of sexual assault on university campuses.
In a statement, Biden said the new rule was an effort by the Trump administration to shame and silence survivors of sexual assault.
Its wrong, Biden said. And, it will be put to a quick end in January 2021, because as president, Ill be right where I always have been throughout my career on the side of survivors, who deserve to have their voices heard, their claims taken seriously and investigated, and their rights upheld.
The new rule issued Wednesday narrows the definition of sexual harassment and requires schools to produce evidence and allow for the cross-examination of students who say they were assaulted.
The rule is meant to ensure that those accused of sexual assault receive due process.
"Too many students have lost access to their education because their school inadequately responded when a student filed a complaint of sexual harassment or sexual assault," DeVos said in a statement. "This new regulation requires schools to act in meaningful ways to support survivors of sexual misconduct, without sacrificing important safeguards to ensure a fair and transparent process. We can and must continue to fight sexual misconduct in our nation's schools, and this rule makes certain that fight continues."

What is this “presumption of innocence” bs? This is America! And the accused in question are probably conservatives we can’t get by any other pretext!
Yes, I’d forgotten that Muslims hate dogs. So strange!
How can you not love dogs!??! There are exceptions but dogs are friendly, loyal and smart. They’re with us to the end. They serve as bomb, drug and other contraband detectors. They can, with some dogs, detect cancer!
Once, during WW1, a dog served with the Canadian Navy. His name was Gander, after the town in Newfoundland. He saw soldiers throwing grenades that had landed near them back at the enemy.
Finally the soldiers were too tired to continue. When a grenade landed near them, the soldiers tried to reach it but they could not.
So Gander picked up the grenade and ran towards the enemy. He kept running and running, until the grenade exploded in his mouth. There is a statue commemorating him in Gander.
Except for democrats like Joe biden
Awww, poor baby. I was born in '47, and we never had a car...ever. I think I bought my first used car when I was around 32, after I divorced my adulterer husband. My oldest son bought a brand new car before me.
Presumption of guilt...
Just like England...
This is great news!
Now when it comes out that Biden sexually assaulted a girl in college, we can watch him squirm.
Uh, do you have the right article?
Right, why would he be the slightest bit worried? There hasn't been a single Demorat anywhere who has been indicted, arrested, or jailed for a single damn thing since who knows when. Name one other than Weiner. Name one!
Oh dear! I did have the wrong article! Maybe there’s a dog lover who read it. :)
Due Process For Me, Star Chamber For Thee....
So much for presumption of innocence. And from Joey The Finger no less.
The new rule issued Wednesday narrows the definition of sexual harassment and requires schools to produce evidence and allow for the cross-examination of students who say they were assaulted. >>>>>
That’s Constitutional due process.
Totalitarian Joe wants to put citizens in jeopardy with out due process, yet exempt himself?
His withered wang may soon be used for a razor strop.
Only if they’re republican.
He will be right there alright, sticking his fingers in, where they dont belong, and smelling females, that dont want to be smelled.
Yes Biden, please keep sexual assault as a theme for your campaign.
Tara Reade's alleged assault didn't occur on campus, I note.
+. It is comical that he keeps scrathing at the scab.
