Citing Widespread Failures, Education Department Orders Chicago Public Schools to Toughen Sexual Misconduct Policies
Citing Widespread Failures, Education Department Orders Chicago Public Schools to Toughen Sexual Misconduct PoliciesThe Education Department on Thursday publicly ordered the Chicago public school system to thoroughly overhaul the way it deals with sexual harassment and violence, after the department said it found widespread failures to respond to complaints of. sexual misconduct by students and staff. Kenneth L. Marcus, assistant secretary of education for civil rights, unveiled an agreement with the district that will require it to take a range of actions to meet requirements of Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination and outlines rules for how colleges and. schools should respond to sexual harassment. The district will have to revamp its system for processing sexual misconduct complaints and take steps to remedy past mishandling by disciplining current and former staff members who failed to take appropriate action. Victims will be offered independent reviews of the districts decisions.
These changes amount to a substantial overhaul; they are not mere tweaks to an existing policy, Mr. Marcus said. They require a very significant rebuild. The Chicago agreement is the second major Title IX investigation the department has announced in two weeks. Last week, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos revealed the results of two investigations into Michigan State University’s handling of complaints against convicted sex criminal Lawrence G. Nassar, and a former dean, William Strampel.
