Get Your Students Hired
I have had this training for the last 15 years and I do find this explanation useful and detailed.
This was a new topic me and it was interesting to learn. I found it important to know that the Title IX, VAWA, and Clery act are all related but that a title IX verbal sex-based harassment wouldn’t fall under a VAWA crime or Clery crime. I will have to find out the information related to our specific university.
What I've Learned
From this module, I gained a deeper understanding of how Title IV governs federal student aid and how it impacts educational institutions' responsibilities. I also learned how VAWA contributes to creating safer environments by enforcing institutional policies against gender-based violence and promoting awareness.
Application
Title IV: I will apply this knowledge by ensuring that educational institutions adhere to Title IV regulations, helping students navigate financial aid processes, and understanding the consequences of non-compliance. Whether advising students or working within a higher education institution, I will prioritize transparency and accuracy in dealing with federal financial aid.
VAWA: I will use the knowledge from VAWA to contribute to creating safer educational and community spaces by promoting awareness, encouraging proactive measures to prevent gender-based violence, and supporting victims with proper resources and legal protections. In my role, I would ensure compliance with VAWA's requirements regarding reporting, policy development, and providing prevention programs to students and staff.
The training session was very informative. In every way possible it is important to protect Equal access to education, gender equality, protection from sexual harassment.
I've learned then importance of Title IX in schools and institutions, and how we can keep students and staff safe.
As instructors, Title IX and VAWA are incredibly important to not only understand but make sure that we are always making sure that students and employees are protected. This was a very detailed and great course.
This is always a good review and an essential aspect of keeping students, faculty, and staff safe on campus and beyond.
I've learned that Title IX and VAWA were created to help institutions build a safe environment for students, employees, and others from harassment both sexual and violent. It ensures that a culture of safety is being taught, promoted, encouraged, and executed to create and maintain a safe environment for everyone. I will do what I can to ensure that I am abiding by these laws and looking out for those I work around.
Each of these regulations Title IX, VAWA, and Clery Act even though focus on specific protections each provide the necessary guidelines to ensure every individual is protected from unwanted sexual advances or violence. Understanding these regulations will allow me as an instructor to properly implement the necessary procedures to assist an individual impacted by such acts.
I am glad to know of both the Clery Act and VAWA, and how they work together in combating violence.
The necessary steps to take to report sexual assault incidents if I am notified by one of my students.
This is the first time that I have been through this training and although I have found it very informative, I wish there was more information on how to proceed with distance education. Cyber attacks are increasing as distance education has evolved since COVID-19.
I was aware of Title 9 as it relates to athletics however, I am just learning about VAWA and the Clery Act. This is crucial on college campuses.
It is necessary that all are treated fairly in life/employment and title IX is an effective way of insuring this
What Title IX and VAWA are and why they exist, as well as how to locate information as it pertains to my individual institution, reporting policies and guidelines, and who to report to.
According to the Department of education Title IX and Sex Discrimination was designed to protect people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal finacial assistance. It states that: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." The scope is large but important. I would go a step further and make sure we aren't discriminating against anyone unknowingly. Try to stay unbias as possibly or be aware of inherit biases we possess.
