Get Your Students Hired
I really enjoyed this portion of the course. It is very clear to me that the institution is obligated to take a more active role once they are informed either directly or indirectly (social media, third party) of a sexual harassment. I like the concerted efforts within this policy to ensure there are action-orientated solutions and a sense of urgency (which might help establish trust because the harassment/concern is being taken seriously and diligently).
I learned that its important for all to know who holds the role of the Title IX Coordinator. Also the respodsibilties of the employees to report to the coordinator.
I have learned that even if an act thta is reportable occurs outside of the campus grounds, it is still able to be reported. This is important for the students to know . They also need to know that their privacy will be protected.
Policy 57 Title IX requires emaployees to report any allegations to the Title IX coordinator or the deputy assigned to campus for immediate investigation.
Important to be aware of our responsibilities in the online enviorpnment should students share information related to sexual asssault, harrassment etc. that needs to be followed up on.
I became thoroughly familiar with all of the Policies and Procedures regarding Title IX and its implementation within our institution. I am pleased to have this in place.
I have learned that it is a good practice to have all employees trained on what to do with this subject and to be clear in giving information to all students, employees and applicants.
The role of the Title IX coordinator is very important, this information as to who the person is designated should be posted and everyone on campus aware.
The institution is responsible to make sure the campus makes necessary adjustments to make all students feel safe.
I have learned about the Title IX coordinaters responsibility and other faculty as well in reporting violent crimes or harrassment, unwanted texts or e-mails. I plan to pay attention to the dialogue and report suspected incidents to be investigated.
It is important to have individuals available to whom a staff member or student can make a report.
I liked the part regarding how to train responsible employees and I intend to implement this on my campus.
After completing this module, I actually looked up different institutions' websites to see if they had access to this information, including who their Title IX coordinator was. I guess in the past I was not always looking for that information, so I never really realized it was present. It was reassuring to see that a simple search would give contact information and the institution's stance with Title IX.
This is my 3rd academic institution and it's the first time I've heard of Title IX, the Clery Act, VAWA and FERPA. Glad I'm here.
The Title IX Coordinator's responsiblities is to be known by students, faculty and staff and to provide training, conduct climate surveys, process requests for confidentiality, maintain records, modify and increase safety measures and policies when needed, and to continually review the effectiveness of these policies to students and staff.
