Title IX and VAWA Training: Building Safer Campuses --> Reporting and Response
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
As an educators we have the responsibility to report any sexual crimes if witnessed or hearing about it, to the title IX Coordinator along with local authorities.
I learned that Title IX and VAWA provide critical protections for students by ensuring schools respond appropriately to incidents of sexual harassment, assault, and discrimination. I will apply this knowledge by being an informed advocate for a safe campus environment and reporting any concerns to the appropriate authorities.
My major concerns are related to confidentiality issues when reporting and protecting the rest of the campus community.
Responsible employees must report incidences of sexual misconduct to the Title IX coordinator or appropriate authority.
I learned that as an employee we are required to report if we have knowledge of any violation of title IX protections.
I learned that Title IX Coordinator in a smaller institution can have other school responsibilities as long as it does not conflict w/ fulfilling the role of Title IX. Title IX Coordinator information should be made available for students and employees to contact.
When something occurs that would fall under Title IX, it requires someone to respond appropriately to the situation.
Using resources like the title IX coordinator can help you and students have a better understanding of what falls under Title IX.
The Title IX Coordinator is extremely knowledgeable and important to not only teach and make sure all is remaining compliant. They have to investigate all allegations, and make sure everyone is being safe.
Institutions still need to investigate sexual misconduct if they have information indicating it has occurred, even if the victim chooses not to file a formal complaint. They must also ensure that the affected individual is provided with a safe and supportive environment for learning and living.
The idea is to have transparency amongst the student body, to keep records and increase safety in a particular area. Lastly it helps to check how safety measures are put into place.
Title IX and VAWA training emphasize the importance of promptly addressing and reporting incidents of sex-based harassment, discrimination, or violence to create a safe campus environment. I will apply this by reporting any concerns and encouraging peers to utilize available resources for support and resolution.
Title IX coordinator has a very important role! I had no idea how much responsibility one person has! Also, I found it interesting that a sexual assault that was posted on social media has to be reported, even if the victim does not want it reported. I still believe that many assaults go unreported, especially at larger universities.
The Title IX Coordinator serves a critical role in a guaranteeing a postsecondary institution’s compliance with Title IX
