Trump’s Second Term Title IX Policy Marks Major Shift on Campus Sexual Assault

The Trump administration has taken a noticeably hands-off approach to campus sexual assault cases in its second term, marking a stark contrast to federal investigations during his first term. While past probes—like the one at San Jose State University—led to heavy federal monitoring and policy overhauls, recent allegations involving a Cornell University fraternity party have drawn little to no federal response under Title IX. Instead, the Department of Education has focused its Title IX enforcement efforts on transgender student policies, athletics, and facilities. In this video, we break down the data, compare Trump's first and second-term approaches to campus Title IX investigations, and explore what this means for the future of civil rights enforcement in higher education.
