Unobhala wezeMfundo u-Betsy DeVos ubhengeze ukuba isebe lakhe liya kuqalisa ukuphonononga imimiselo yexesha lika-Obama elifuna iiyunivesithi kunye neekholeji ezifumana inkxaso-mali ye-federal ukuba ithobele imithetho yeSihloko se-IX, ebandakanya indlela izikolo ezizisingatha ngayo izityholo zokuhlaselwa ngokwesondo.

Ukuphonononga: Isihloko IX senziwa ngo-1972 njengeendlela zokuqinisekisa amalungelo alinganayo kubafundi abangamadoda nabasetyhini kunye neembaleki zabafundi kwiinzame zokuthintela ucalucalulo olusekwe kwimidlalo yezesini, kwiminikelo yezifundo, okanye kwimeko yokungaziphathi kakuhle.

Ngaphantsi kwesihloko se-IX, ngo-2011, ulawulo luka-Obama lwakhupha ileta ethandekayo yabalingani, esebenza njengeseti yezikhokelo zokuba izikolo kufuneka zijongane njani namabango okuhlaselwa ngokwesondo ukuze babenako ukuphendula ngokubonelela ngamava alinganayo emfundo. Kuba, isikhumbuzi, ukuhlaselwa ngokwesondo kwiikhampasi zekholeji yingxaki enkulu. Ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-20 zabasetyhini abangaphantsi kwamava okudlwengulwa okanye ukuhlaselwa ngokwesondo ngokunyanzelwa ngokomzimba, ubundlobongela, okanye ukukhubazeka. Kwaye ngelishwa, kukho imbali ende yokutshayela le miba phantsi kombhoxo kunye nokungaboneleli ngobulungisa xa kufanelekile. Thatha umdadisi waseStanford u-Brock Turner, ochithe iinyanga ezintathu kuphela emva kwezitshixo (kwisigwebo seenyanga ezintandathu esele sisezantsi) kunyaka ophelileyo ngokuhlukumeza ngokwesondo umntu wasetyhini ongazi nto kufutshane nendawo yokulahla inkunkuma ngasemva kwendlu ye-frat.

"Ixesha 'lolawulo ngeleta' liphelile," utshilo uDeVos ngethuba ethetha imizuzu engama-20 esihlweleni sase-George Mason University's campus School e-Arlington, VA. Uye wongeza ukuba inkqubo yangoku yokunika ingxelo, nangona yayijongwe kakuhle, yinkqubo "engaphumelelanga" ethi "icace gca kwaye iyabhida" kwaye yenze into "kuye wonke umntu obandakanyekayo." Ngawo wonke umntu, uthetha amaxhoba kunye nabo batyholwa ngoxhatshazo ngokwesondo. (Idibeneyo: Olu luhlu lweeFoto zoLutsha lubonelela ngeNqaku elitsha kwiiNgxelo zikaTrump malunga nabafazi)

Ngelixa uDeVos engakhange axele naluphi na utshintsho olwenziwe ngesamente kwiSihloko IX, yena uyenzile zivelise iindlela ezimbini ezinokubakho kwiSebe lezeMfundo ezinokuphanda ukunceda ukutshintsha umgaqo-nkqubo okhoyo ngoku. Uthi olu tshintsho lunokubakho lusekwe kwiincoko abenazo nezo zichaphazeleka kwimigaqo-nkqubo ethile ye-IX, ebandakanya abameli abavela kwiqela lamalungelo abantu, amaxhoba okuhlaselwa ngokwesondo, kunye nabameli abavela kumaziko emfundo.

Indlela yokuqala enokwenzeka iya kuba kukumilisela inkqubo esekuhleni kunye nenkqubo yokunika izimvo ukufaka ulwazi kuwo onke amaqela, kwaye eyesibini iya kuba kukufuna impendulo yoluntu kunye nokudibanisa ulwazi lwamaziko, ubungcali bobuchwephesha kunye namava abafundi ukuthatha indawo indlela yangoku enenkqubo esebenzayo, esebenzayo, nefanelekileyo." Akucaci ukuba yeyiphi na kwezi meko inokujongeka njani kwimeko ye-campus. (Eyeleleneyo: Inkqubo eNtsha yeLizwe lonke ijolise ekunciphiseni uhlaselo ngokwesondo kwiiKhampasi zeKholeji)

I-DeVos yathetha ixesha elide malunga nokukhusela abo "batyholwa ngokungalunganga," bachitha ixesha elifanayo kumacala omabini alenxaki ephazamisayo (amaxhoba kunye nabatyholwa) ngexesha lentetho yakhe. Ingxaki kukuba, ziipesenti ezi-2 ukuya kwezili-10 zokudlwengulwa ezixeliweyo eziba ngamabango obuxoki, ngokweZiko leSizwe elineziXhobo zoBundlobongela ngezeSondo. Olu hlobo lwentetho lwenza kube nzima ngakumbi kwabasetyhini ukuba bathethe malunga nokuhlaselwa kwabo, ekunzima ngokwaneleyo njengoko kunjalo.

Njengoko wayethetha nabaphulaphuli ngaphakathi kwiHolo laBaseki, phantse abantu abalishumi elinesibini baqhankqalaza ngaphandle ukukhusela amalungelo abo baye baxhatshazwa ngokwesondo. "Akukho maqela asindileyo amenyiwe kwisigqibo sanamhlanje," u-Jess Davidson, umlawuli ophethe i-End Rape kwi-Campus, nothathe inxaxheba kuqhankqalazo oluncinci, uxelele IWashington Post. "Inyaniso yokuba abekho kwigumbi ayibonakalisi ukuba ngubani oza kuchaphazeleka ngumgaqo-nkqubo. Siqokelela ngaphandle kwentetho ukubonisa indlela abaluleke ngayo amazwi abasindileyo."
