How civil rights investigations against schools have changed under Trump admin

Amid a flurry of civil rights and Title IX investigations, the Trump administration has reopened K-12 schools and universities, signaling a complete 180-degree shift in the interpretation of the mandates.  

The Trump administration is fighting schools over transgender athletes, bans on Native American mascots and Chicago’s “Black Students Success Plans.”  

The switch from the previous administration has caused whiplash for schools, with advocates warning students some complaints may not be worth pursuing.
