On January 9, 2025, Kathi Harper, chair of the AAUW California Public Policy School Board Project, presented “2024 Revisions to Title IX: How they Impact AAUW Values and Public Policy Priorities.” Coincidentally, about two hours before her presentation the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Kentucky issued a decision to vacate the updated Title IX rules released in April 2024. AAUW quickly issued a statement denouncing the decision (HERE).
For those who missed Kathi’s presentation, the recording can be viewed below. Please note the following correction as you view the presentation: Cross-examination of the accuser is allowed under CA SB 493 but only by a 3rd party (such as the hearing officer); cross-examination of the accuser is allowed under the Trump rules by an advisor of the accused, but not by the accused directly.
