Educational institutions can claim a religious exemption with the Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Education from the strictures of Title IX. In 2016, the Obama Administration published on the Department of Education’s website a list of colleges that had applied for the exemption. This “list of shame” of faith-based colleges, as it came to be known, has since been archived on ED’s website, still publicly available. The President should issue an executive order removing the archived list and preventing such a list from being published in the future.

Context:
Apparently, religious schools could always apply for Title IX exemptions to be bigots if they so desired, but they were published on a “list of shame” for doing so. Burke mandates eliminating this list, therefore reducing transparency about which higher education institutions applied to be legally racist/sexist/transphobic. If I were going to pay good money for an education, I think that’s something I’d like to know about the schools I’m considering.
