Linda McMahon's recent comments on Title IX during her confirmation hearing have raised concerns among sexual violence prevention groups regarding their implications for addressing sexual harassment on college campuses. She stated that colleges must respond to off-campus sexual misconduct, a claim at odds with Trump’s 2020 regulations. These regulations limit colleges' responsibilities regarding misconduct in private off-campus settings and stipulate that harassment must be severe and pervasive to be actionable. The Biden administration had intended to broaden these protections, but recent judicial actions have left Trump-era rules in place.
The nominee said that colleges are "obligated" to respond to reports of sexual misconduct that occurs off-campus. This statement contradicts Trump's 2020 rule.
Sexual harassment must be both severe and pervasive in order to be prohibited under Title IX, according to the Trump policy, which differs from the Biden administration's attempt.
