Title IX was passed 50 years ago, and is supposed to ensure that students have a right to an education that is free from sexual harassment and gendered violence. Colleges are supposed to institute and support systems for investigating allegations, protecting complainants and disciplining perpetrators.
However, USA TODAY, in an 18-month investigation, found that the system in colleges and universities is extremely flawed, and victims' complaints are rarely addressed adequately. Most likely perpetrators will not be addressed and victims are left feeling alone. Minimal actions are taken and light sanctions are imposed, undercutting findings of fault.
