Title IX

Amid the turmoil, the university recently made what it calls “sweeping changes” to its procedures this summer.

Today on Stateside, a look at the University of Michigan’s new Title IX misconduct policies and at Gov. Whitmer’s calls for an auto insurance fund to pay drivers back. Then, a discussion about the effort to update 1,700 historical markers across the state to tell a fuller story. And, local election drama in a southern Michigan township, where a clerk who refused to turn over election equipment for a routine software check lost her oversight of this week’s vote.

Even as the university makes sweeping changes to its Title IX policy and procedures, legal experts and survivors like this student wonder: Will it make a difference?
