A bill establishing a framework to ensure proper Title IX reporting and accountability was signed into law this week by Gov. John Bel Edwards.
Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs that receive federal assistance. House Bill 409 stems from a scandal involving sexual assault allegations against LSU football players that the school didn t properly investigate.
House Bill 409, now Act 472, mandates college employees report known power-based violence violations, which is defined as any form of interpersonal violence meant to control or intimidate someone else by asserting power over that person. These violations include dating violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, and more.
