As a #USU #Alumnus, I am again called on to denounce my university.

No, it's not about a coach saying raped students lie or a series of cases where USU failed to follow #TitleIX. This time it's about the whole of Cache Valley being told to attack a person living on campus because she dared to take an RA job.

I lived in Merrill Hall. I remember how accessible the units are. I remember repeatedly having to lock our front door because my roommates had just popped out for a minute and there was a guy going around trying the locks in the all women residential hall.

I am furious and embarrassed that USU, Utah legislators, and the weirdo ex-cop who's made a living on LGBT hate and antimasking in a pandemic.

Maybe focus on your actual threats to safety, USU. You know, your unending rapes and domestic/intimate partner violence on and off-campus. Not a young woman just trying to live her life and not harming anyone.

ETA: For the curious outside of Utah, this is a good summary of the situation at USU. (Note, it's the cis, straight guys, USU!)

#Trump names #LindaMcMahon as his pick for Education secretary

By Kristen Holmes, Kaitlan Collins and John Towfighi, CNN

"Trump’s education secretary could potentially be tasked with overseeing the [#DepartmentOfEducation]'s demise after the president-elect repeatedly called for abolishing the agency on the campaign trail.

"It would be difficult to get rid of the entire department, which delivers federal funding to nearly every public #K12 school in the country and manages the $1.6 trillion federal #StudentLoan portfolio. And shutting it down would require an act of Congress.

"It may be more likely that some programs are moved to other federal agencies. The overarching goal for many Republicans is to reduce the federal government’s role in local education, which could be achieved by retaining funding programs but delivering money to states and schools with fewer strings attached.

"Under the new education secretary, the department may use the formal regulatory process to undo changes the Biden administration made to #TitleIX that sought to expand protections for #LGBTQ+ students. A new rule could potentially say that Title IX prevents #trans students from playing on girls’ sports teams, something Trump campaigned on."
