Title IX for All

Help and resources for students wrongly accused of Title IX violations, Title IX professionals, and advocates.

Whether you are male or female, well-off or with limited means, you should benefit from Title IX protections. That is what Title IX for All is all about!

We flatter ourselves that we are ‘advancing’ and that society is ‘getting better.’ But we did modern witch hunts just a few years ago and called them ‘me too.’ No one was drowned. But we destroyed entire livelihoods, and the fanaticism of unthinking mobs was the same.

@CathyYoung63 Hate is hard to fight, especially when that hate is done in the name of protecting a "vulnerable/marginalized group."

Why does this bullshit never go away

Seventh Circuit reaffirms high bar for student-on-student Title IX claims | Nixon Peabody Higher Education Alert | Nixon Peabody LLP https://t.co/3erwMFAlZu

CA3 rejects the "anti-respondent bias" defense at the MTD stage; and also rejects the CA11 Samford standard that acc'd students have to disprove alternative explanations for univ action.
Judge Krause's opinion becomes the first to explicitly reject the (awful) Samford standard.

[KC Johnson @kcjohnson9]

Key holding: CA3 joins CA2/5/6/8/9 in holding that external pressure+procedural irregularities can sustain TIX claim. CA11 disagrees; CA7 once was with the majority of circuits but has since reversed itself.

[KC Johnson @kcjohnson9]

Princeton tried to route this case to its "non-TIX" process & then claimed in court that TIX precedents were irrelevant. Court rejects the argument: "Universities cannot insulate themselves from Title IX liability by recharacterizing disciplinary complaints that, on their face, indicate the alleged misconduct is of a sexual nature and adjudicating those charges under disciplinary policies with lower procedural protections for respondents."

[KC Johnson @kcjohnson9]

Just in: In lengthy, unanimous opinion, CA3 reverses district court on both TIX and breach of contract counts in @Princeton acc'd student case. Judge Krause (Obama nominee) with the opinion.

"We can't explicitly tell you our implicit biases. Congressman, because they are implicit!"

["We can tell others', though."]

[Congressman Brandon Gill @RepBrandonGill]

The American Bar Association’s own website says, “All of us have implicit biases.” I asked its president which groups she holds bias against.

"The University of Wisconsin didn’t act with “deliberate indifference” when it re-admitted a student who’d been expelled after allegations of sexual assault, a split Seventh Circuit found, rejecting the accuser’s attempt to revive her Title IX claims against the school."

@sfmcguire79 “The worst thing they would learn was that education meant elaboration of the opinions one already had, and confirmation of one’s prejudices.” Which is exactly what happened at scale.

[Wilfred Reilly @wil_da_beast630]

Why is he getting roasted for this.

If you expand rape from "forcible sex" to - for example - "fingering' you asked for while really drunk," you will get more rapes.

[Title IX for All @TitleIXforAll]

@VAWAIsNoMore Sounds like it.

[Title IX for All @TitleIXforAll]

Sexual misconduct allegations cause harm to the accused, and the impact is often similar to that of victims of sexual misconduct. In a world that claims to empathize but sneers at due process and the experience of the wrongly accused, we can do better.

@Weusedtosm39160 @dumbitpro @sappholives83 This isn't hard. It's possible to advocate for redress of a real issue without becoming a hate movement. Those who can do both will rightly succeed, those who can't will rightly fail. Being a good advocate requires self-discipline and honing a skillset. This is not it.

[Title IX for All @TitleIXforAll]

@sappholives83 Too many feminists can't resist overgeneralizing their claims. It's not enough to say that a real but substantial minority of men behave this way. They have to attribute it to "most" men or men generally.

[Title IX for All @TitleIXforAll]

@thescapegoatapo Not sure exactly what you mean, but this isn't directed at any particular case, including any cases that are being publicly debated right now.

[Title IX for All @TitleIXforAll]

"It doesn't matter that he was so intoxicated that he didn't know what he was doing. He was still responsible for acknowledging that I withdrew consent in the middle of an ongoing sexual act."

It's amazing how many complainants do not process what is wrong with this.

[Title IX for All @TitleIXforAll]

Also -virtually everyone can find a "reason" to lie - to themselves and/or others - if they want to. The question is, will they. /3

[Title IX for All @TitleIXforAll]

"I believe the allegations because the person has no reason to lie."

Accusers do not have to lie for the accusation to be untrue. They just have to be wrong. /1

[Title IX for All @TitleIXforAll]

They can be, and often are, wrong about their memory of what happened, the definition of things like consent and coercion, and so forth. They may experience the effects of sincerely but incorrect believing what happened, which makes it all the more difficult. /2
