“Monday marked the last day of the public comment period for the Title IX proposals. Public comments discussing the proposal totaled almost 350,000 last Tuesday in the Federal Register.

By Friday, however, the total was reduced to 184,009, Politico first reported. Officials told reporters that a "clerical error" at the Department of Education had accidentally "boosted" the number of comments to the original 350,000. “

“The disappearance of comments on the government website did not come without warning. The government explicitly reserved the right to not make a given comment available to the public, stating, "Please note that while everyone can comment, not every comment is made publicly available to read. Agencies have the option of whether or not to post comments to [the government site.”
