Colorado College's Title IX Struggles: Victims' Frustration
•
Colorado College grapples with Title IX challenges, facing criticism for its handling of sexual assault cases. The school, receiving federal funds, must adhere to strict federal rules on gender equality and misconduct. However, officials and students argue these rules hinder accountability, resulting in few responsible findings. The process has been criticized for being dismissive towards victims, as seen in a case where a womans claim was deemed insufficient due to consent issues. Despite reported rapes on campus increasing, broader surveys indicate higher assault rates among students. Critics contend Title IX focuses more on compliance than care or prevention, pushing support to other resources like the Wellness Center. The college, however, claims to offer additional resources and a new faculty panel for decisions, and is conducting its first sexual misconduct survey in eight years. Checkout Solipillow.com
