Former Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that if he’s 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.
“It’s wrong,” Biden said. “And, it will be put to a quick end in January 2021, because as president, I’ll 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."

So basically every single good thing that has happened will be undone :-)
That pos
In other words, back to men being presumed guilty until found innocent in a kangaroo court after being accused of doing the things Joe Biden actually does.
What an ass! Maybe we should judge him without due process!
These are not the only constitutional rights and individual liberties that will be lost if this corrupt, creepy , demented man is elected President.
Is he honestly that tone deaf?
Granted, the media will run interference for him as best they can, but wow.
That's a BIG if, IMHO. Succeeding President Hitlery is a tall order for the Creepster.
Shameless lying and demagoguery is his MO.
“Listen and BeLIEve!”
Slow Joe talking shit from his basement. How quaint.
Oh, Joe. Thank you so much for going there. The next couple weeks are going to be so entertaining. Can’t wait till you (will you?) leave the F***er Bunker and answer some questions about sexual assault allegations.
If Slow Joe is the best the democraps have; that party should just shut down and move to the communist country of their choosing.
I have a crazy idea. How about the university do NO investigations for sexual assault? All the students are 18, full legal adults. A rape happens, the local police department or college police department (not just security) should conduct a normal criminal investigation using the rules of criminal law.
If a 21 year old working at a job is accused of raping a fellow employee, the company is not tasked with conducting the investigation FOR the police.
This “kids” are adults, maybe they should be treated that way.
This guy is way off base. . . and to think people have said they are going to vote for him.
Biden, in his present and near permanent state, couldn’t find “Reverse” on his car’s dashboard!
He’s goring his gonads.
Sweet!
All the students are 18, full legal adults.
FWIW I didn’t turn 17 until about a month after I started college. Skipped 1st grade.
Didn’t really cause a problem until I started 10th grade. Most of the kids had their driver’s licenses, even the girls, while I didn’t even have my learner’s permit.
No one really knew how much younger I was than everyone else, but it was a problem when I tried to get a date.
“Mary, would you like to go to the Prom with me? Oh, and by the way, could you drive?
