She is presently a senior and has not received a resolution of her complaint. Another woman told us that she was sexually harassed, reported it, and that the trauma of going through the procedures that were laid out in the Trump rule were traumatizing in themselves.\u201d\n\nDWC Policy Co-Chair Kathy Manning (NC-06): \u201cUnder Trump\u2019s Title IX rule, survivors were forced to suffer in fear and students who were experiencing discrimination on campus felt they had no place to go.\u201d\n\nCEC Vice Chair Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01): \u201cEverybody should be safe and feel safe when they\u2019re at school. At one point [on the Floor], I pointed out that so many students who are being either harassed or bullied don\u2019t even report it because they just don\u2019t feel safe.\u201d\n\nMembers asserted that Republicans\u2019 passage of the CRA would harm women, the LGBTQI+ community, and survivors of sexual assault:\n\nDWC Policy Co-Chair Kathy Manning (NC-06): \u201cFor 50 years, Title IX has prohibited discrimination on the basis of sex, successfully advancing gender equality in schools and institutions of higher education. It also provided essential protections against sexual harassment and violence. 50 years later, Republicans want to gut Title IX. The legislation put forward by my Republican colleagues this week would undermine the Department of Education\u2019s fundamental ability to enforce basic protections for women, for the LQBTQ+ community, for pregnant students, and for survivors of sexual assault.\u201d\n\nDWC Vice Chair Teresa Leger Fern\u00e1ndez (NM-03): \u201cThis [CRA] is consistent with the Republican agenda, the Trump agenda, to undermine protections for women, whether that is reproductive healthcare or protections from sexual violence.\u201d\n\nCEC Vice Chair Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01): \u201cI remember the four long years of Secretary DeVos and all the conversations we had in that administration and the harm that they did, not only to the LGBTQI+ students, but also to survivors of sexual assault on campus.\u201d\n\nTomorrow, House Republicans are aiming to pass a Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn the Biden administration\u2019s Title IX rule and revert back to the Trump Title IX rule. As the Members explained, the Trump era rule was devastating for women and girls, sexual assault survivors, and LGBTQI+ students.\n\nThe Biden administration\u2019s final rule, which goes into effect August 1, includes critical updates and clarifications of sex-based protections and institutional procedures to protect students from sex-based harassment and discrimination, enhances reporting measures for sexual assault and harassment, and overall, creates a safer learning environment for all students.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bonamici.house.gov/media/press-releases/democratic-womens-caucus-and-equality-caucus-condemn-republicans-attack-title"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.965392217040062, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
