Campus Sexual Assault Policies Are Changing

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 19, 2014

As the U.S. Department of Education investigates how colleges across the country deal with sexual assault and whether they're following Title IX rules, some colleges in our area have changed the way they handle allegations. Jessica Bakeman, Education policy and politics reporter for Capital New York, discusses the recent policy changes at SUNY schools. And Michela Weihl, member of the group No Red Tape Columbia, calls in to offer her opinion that some of the changes to Columbia's sexual assault policy didn't go far enough.
