Hi Renn,
Thanks for your question:
Q. "Could you elaborate on what you mean by "Title IX protection of offenders"?
- One source wherein I learned about this:
"Erased: Why faculty sexual misconduct is prevalent and how we could prevent it,"
Sarah L. Young & Kimberly K. Wiley (2021) Erased: Journal of Public Affairs Education,
27:3, 276-300
"Title IX: Help or Hindrance?," Valerie A. Sulfaroa and Rebecca Gillb, a. Department of Political Science, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia, USA; b. Department of Political Science, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; c Women's Research Institute of Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
"The Failings of Title IX For Survivors of Sexual Violence," Katie Vail, Washington Law Review, Vol. 94: 2085, p.2085-2118
And Renn, the above is just a very short list available in on-line university libraries.
Cheers,
Bill

"Girl Power": Gendered Academic and Workplace Experiences of College Women in Engineering by Kathleen N. Smith *ORCID and Joy Gaston Gayles ORCID
Department of Educational Leadership, Policy, and Human Development, College of Education, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695, USA 10 January 2018
Abstract
Women in engineering continue to experience bias in the field. This constructivist case study uses feminist theory to examine the gendered experiences of graduating senior women engineering students in academic and workplace environments. In each setting we identified three subthemes; in academia: "I don't think my education is any different," "Being underestimated constantly," and "You don't want to be seen as getting advantages;" in the workplace: "Oh, you're a girl," "There's a lot of sexism," and Benefits of "girl power." Overall, findings indicate that women experience bias in both settings, often via implicit bias in academia and with instances of implicit bias, sexism, and sexual harassment occurring even more often in the workplace through internship experiences. The article concludes with suggestions for practice, future research, and strategies to create supportive academic and workplace experiences and environments for women engineers.

Q. In this national election year, what might you and some colleagues do to contact your elected representatives to ask what they will do to eliminate Title IX protection of offenders?

This is a great question, and three suggestions that intersect with civil engineers come to mind. The first is the resiliency of the nation's housing stock to natural disasters. Regardless of one's views on climate change, storms, floods, and fires are making insurance unaffordable to many or, in some cases, no longer available. The second is the resiliency of the power grid. There is no spare capacity; the specter of thousands without power for weeks and months is not beyond reason. The third is the reigning monarch n the cost and time spiral that makes train and rapid transit projects unaffordable or practically impossible. This also requires a culture change, but the answer is not building wider highways.

Many of the issues engineers struggle with can be traced back to the current laws and regulations of our government(s).
i.e., Federal, State, County, Town.
Why not lead a group within your ASCE section to identify issues, and then collectively write to your representative(s)?
And/or, do so yourself?
Cheers,
Bill
