chant: “No means yes.” The brothers’ outrageous chant then went a perverse step further in descending into the realm of raucous indignity. In April 2011, OCR published its first “Dear Colleague” letter with respect to responsibilities under Title IX. In contrast to common (mis)understanding, the letter did not embody or reflect law. It was not law in any sense of the word. It was not reporting on an act of Congress, nor was it setting forth an administrative regulation enjoying the force of law.

No one had his or her head in the sand, nor averted his or her gaze to avoid facing unpleasantness — or worse.

Its work enjoyed the unalloyed support of the entire Executive Council. Then, in the following June (2013), | personally issued a memorandum creating a specialized Task Force Review of Sexual Violence to conduct a comprehensive review of Baylor’s policies
