Each institution needs to clearly understand exactly what can be released about a student in order to stay in compliance. The guidelines are very specific about the policies and procedures. 

This information is so important in order to protect the privacy of our students and to make sure we comply with the law when it comes to student information. 

It was interesting to note that Sole Possessoin records are not considered an eductaional record and if you don't want the student to ever see them, then you should not leave them in their file that you might pass on to someone else.  

This has been excellent information; much of what I teach in my Human Sexuality class for Garden City Community College.  I have found that understanding consent is very important for everyone to know, as this can either be unclear, or misunderstood.  

A school is obligated to investigate an act of cyberstalking, if reported, even if it did not occur on campus. 

Confidentiality is very important to protect all parties.  

The victim does not have to report an incident in order for an investigation to be held.  If an institution learns of an incident, even through soical media, they need to do a prompt investigation. 

The informaiton provided in this program is comprehensive, and very well organized for presenttation. 

Reply to Tricia Reichert's post:Tricia, I agree that teaching in an online environment, we also have to be responsible for undertanding all this information to make sure our students are behaving appropriately.  

The overview of Title IX, VAWA and the Clery Act has been an excellent review.  Even when we teach in an online environment, we still need to be aware of all the regulations, policies, and pocedures.
