Proposed changes in campus assault rules draw fire

As thousands of college students head back to class this week, Connecticut leaders are slamming new rules proposed by the Trump administration that would increase the rights of students accused of sexual misconduct and reduce liability for colleges and universities. Details of the new rules emerge in the midst of the #MeToo movement and days after a report from Yale University revealed a record number of sexual misconduct complaints in 2018. The rules, set to be proposed by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, would narrow the definition of sexual harassment, only hold schools accountable for formal complaints about incidents on campus, and establish a higher legal standard to determine whether schools improperly addressed complaints.
