Campus sexual assault is a major problem that must be dealt with. We must do everything possible to make sure our campuses are safe for all. — Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) September 7,2017
This decision does a disservice to those who have worked hard to address sexual violence. Congress must now act to undo it. — Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) September 7,2017
Sander’s comments come after DeVos announced she would revamp the Obama administration’s guidance for combating sexual assault on college campuses.
DeVos said that while the guidance had good intentions, it was not enough to address the problem.
The move has ignited backlash from Democrats and civil rights advocates.
