Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who faces an accusation of sexual assault, said he'd reverse a rule promulgated this week that strengthens protections for students and others accused of sex assault at or near colleges if he’s elected president.

“Survivors deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and when they step forward they should be heard, not silenced,” Biden, 77, said in a statement.
