Betsy Devos and Title IX Rollbacks

This is an interesting article, in advance of our conversations on Title IX. It's written by a Harvard Law Professor - the first Asian-American woman tenured by Harvard Law. I believe she's a scholar of sexual assault law, and she's written controversial articles about the difficulties of teaching rape law with trigger warnings.

I think (??) shes's still fairly liberal, but she seems to be agreeing with Betsy DeVos and The Department of Education's decision to rollback Title IX - though she seems to be distancing herself from her lack of support for LGBTQ students.

I'm not sure how much I agree with the article, but it is something interesting to keep in mind as we learn more about the politics and history of Title IX.
