The biggest myth I still see propagated on college campuses is that Title IX is a resource to protect victims of sexual harassment and assault. Every single time I have seen a case go to them they end up providing cover for the accused, prolong the trauma/suffering of the victim, and prioritize protecting the university’s image.
@tdverstynen totally. one of the things that i think is one of the most underrated wins from our last contract is the ability to opt-in to a separate complaint/grievance procedure outside of title IX with interim protections. HR is not your friend, your university is not your friend, your union is your friend tho.
