DOE official apologizes for saying that 90% of campus sexual assault cases "fall into the category of ‘we were both drunk"
I am not sure how a person says that to a newspaper.

The acting head of the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights apologized late Wednesday after comments she made about campus sexual violence sparked outrage.
Candice Jackson, the acting head of the civil rights office, told The New York Times that 90 percent of cases "fall into the category of ‘we were both drunk,' 'we broke up, and six months later I found myself under a Title IX investigation because she just decided that our last sleeping together was not quite right.'"
Later, in a written apology, Jackson said that what she said was "flippant, and I am sorry."
“As a survivor of rape myself, I would never seek to diminish anyone’s experience," the apology said. "My words in the New York Times poorly characterized the conversations I’ve had with countless groups of advocates ... All sexual harassment and sexual assault must be taken seriously — which has always been my position and will always be the position of this Department.”

The day one of Betsy DeVos' daughters or granddaughters are sexually assaulted there will be a 180. Always is.
