[Wsssc] NYTimes: Betsy DeVos Reverses Obama-era Policy on Campus Sexual Assault Investigations

FYI below. I'm on a multi-agency call today at 11:30 with Senator Murray's staff on this. Let me know what your concerns are, if any. It looks like you can choose to keep the preponderance of evidence standard for now.

The Education Department said colleges may use a higher standard of evidence before finding an accused student responsible, which could make it harder to prove claims.
