The One Way Jane Doe’s Case is the ExceptionKate Manne's Substack post interviews sociologist Nicole Bedera, who spent a year embedded at a university she calls Western University studying how schools handle sexual violence under Title IX. Bedera says the Jane Doe case at Cornell is typical except that Jane Doe persevered: fewer than 1% of Title IX reports end in expulsion or suspension, administrators use "himpathy" to protect perpetrators, and survivors are coerced away and systematically betrayed, deepening their trauma. She calls for external oversight of civil rights law and warns the US is on the cusp of losing Title IX's protections.
