The Executive Order That’s Dismantling the Department of Education

The latest Executive Order, “Improving Education,” is already making waves—but what does it really mean? One of the biggest concerns is the gutting of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), which has dramatically reduced resources for handling discrimination complaints. With OCR weakened, students and employees facing discrimination are left with only one major option: lawsuits.

In this episode, Dr. Sandi breaks down:
⚖️ What happens when OCR is no longer a reliable option for discrimination complaints
📉 How the loss of civil rights enforcement impacts students, employees, and schools
📝 Why lawsuits are more important than ever—and what they actually look like
📞 How Title IX Consulting Group can help individuals going through these uncertain times

As we await further details from the Trump administration, victims of discrimination still have options. If you need guidance or lawsuit information, Title IX Consulting Group is here to help.

📢 Don’t stay silent—know your rights and your options.
