In a bid to tackle the growing problem of sexual misconduct in schools, the US Education Department has launched a high-profile crackdown on institutions that fail to protect students from harassment and abuse. The move, which includes the release of new guidelines and a renewed commitment to enforcing existing laws, aims to hold schools accountable for creating safe learning environments.

As the Education Department takes a tougher stance on school sexual misconduct, it remains to be seen whether this latest effort will yield meaningful change.
