A new report at the Institute for Family Studies warns Joe Biden’s promise to expand Title IX campus sex assault protections will attempt to empower his radical administration’s bureaucrats to “shape the sexual norms of future generations.” Manhattan Institute Fellow Kay S. Hymowitz observed that, in 2011, the Obama administration launched its “Dear Colleague” letter to college and university deans to express its horror at what it claimed were “statistics on sexual violence” that “are both deeply troubling and a call to action for the nation.”
“A report prepared for the National Institute of Justice found that about 1 in 5 women are victims of completed or attempted sexual assault while in college,” the letter stated............. However, the statistics published by the Obama-era Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are “wildly at odds with the official crime statistics,” asserted American Enterprise Institute (AEI) resident scholar and former philosophy professor Christina Hoff Sommers, in a fact-check video:.............
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, a division of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the actual rate of sexual assault on college campuses is 6.1 per 1,000 students, or .03 in 5. The rate of rape and sexual assault for non-students is actually 1.2 times higher than for students – 7.6 per 1,000.
“Where did the CDC find more than a million and nearly 14 million victims of sexual violence that professional criminologists somehow overlooked?” Sommers posed the question in the video. “It found them by using a poorly constructed telephone survey with a low response rate and a non-representative sample of respondents. No one interviewed was asked if they had been raped or sexually assaulted."........
Biden’s plan to further expand involvement of his education department’s Office for Civil Rights in campus sex assault accusations will broaden the already existing “byzantine web of federal agencies, laws, regulations, guidance letters, state laws, and Title IX offices” that claim to be protecting students from sexual assault, harassment, and sexual discrimination...........To Read More
