If implemented, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’s drafted rule would deprive the thousands of survivors of sexual assault like me of the right to use the Title IX process to seek justice and healing.

“Unfortunately, under your leadership, the Bureau has abandoned the very consumers it is tasked by Congress with protecting,” Frotman wrote to Mick Mulvaney, the bureau’s acting director. “Instead, you have used the Bureau to serve the wishes of the most powerful financial companies in America.”
Among his charges is that the bureau squashed publication of data showing banks are ripping off college students with “legally dubious” debit card fees.

It was that sports and winning — and the money that goes along with big-time college football — matter more than academics and accountability. Thankfully, students, faculty and the community at Maryland’s flagship university have a far different set of values. In speaking out for those values, they sent a powerful message that should reverberate through the world of college athletics.
