Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026In this moment, I hope all of us are thinking about how to support the survivors who are demanding more. College campuses are often the source of social change. The students find optimism in the places the rest of us are cynical. And they will be more powerful if we stand in solidarity with them. 219236
Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026There is a truism in campus sexual violence advocacy that schools can violate students’ rights because they can reset the movement every four years. On the flip side of that, there is also a new cohort of students every four year who still believe rape is wrong and expect better of their schools. 122628
Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026For every story like the Cornell gang rape, there are thousands more that couldn’t make it into the light.

Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026And that brings us to present day. The most reliable way for a campus sexual assault story to make it into a newspaper is for the survivor to file a lawsuit against their school. And the two main vehicles survivors used to do that have been closed for years. 124544
Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026In 2025, Trump was inaugurated into his second term and immediately ordered the Department of Education to stop investigating complaints about sexual violence or other violations of women’s Title IX rights. 125060
Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026In a Title IX context, “emotional damages” was interpreted to mean any damages resulting from trauma. That decision is in a long legacy of treating women as “hysterical” for being hurt by sexual violence. 121733
Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026And in 2022, SCOTUS ruled on an ADA case with huge ramifications for Title IX. In Cummings v. Premier Rehab Keller, PLLC, SCOTUS ruled that even if an individual’s civil rights are violated, they cannot seek “emotional damages” from the discriminating institution. 120630
Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026(There’s a separate thread to write about why Biden’s Title IX regulation was also very bad. It was written by schools, not survivors, so it actually expanded perpetrator impunity and increased surveillance of survivors. We’re honestly better off without it—even though we’re still in a bad place.) 225740
Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026There was also a sense that Trump losing re-election would fix everything. But Biden dragged his feet on undoing the damage of Title IX. And then HE lost re-election and his Title IX regulation was vacated before it ever really went into effect. 128850
Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Trump’s Title IX regulation went into effect in 2020, where it received almost no media coverage during the pandemic. There were also few students on campus to participate in or protest the process. Schools went above and beyond in implementing hostility toward survivors. 126654
Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026At the time, the draft received an unprecedented amount of comments raising concern about violations of survivors’ rights and the risk of turning Title IX into a vehicle of gender discrimination. They were systematically ignored. Only pro-perpetrator recommendations were accepted.spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com 126030
Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Trump rescinded prior guidance on Title IX during his first year in office, then put out a new regulation that experts warned would retraumatize survivors and offer perpetrators impunity.

Reposted by parking lot lady™️Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost. 21383481

Reposted by parking lot lady™️Guardian US @us.theguardian.com · 28/09/2026And it's clear that ICE is using both familiar and novel tactics to maximize arrests, from jail transfers to so-called 287(g) agreements that deputize local police forces to carry out immigration enforcement on ICE’s behalf. 2361138
