Get Your Students Hired
From this module, I have learned the importance of being knowledgeable about the VAWA crimes to include dating and domestic violence in order to be a reliable resource for students/staff/members of my institution should the need arise.
I agree with Lisa, C; students need to be trained about sexual abuse and Alcohol/drugs.
While under the influence of Alcohol or drugs it is difficult to prevent unwanted advances of sexual approaches.
Evaluation of consent is a very valuable piece of this module. It would be great if the designers of the course could add some interactive activities to practice.
I agree with all comments as it pertains to laws governing safety for all from this content. Also, it is important that everyone truly understand the general meaning/differences in consent.
All staff and students are educating regarding sexual harassment, domestic violence, rape, stalking
Prevention and education are critical components of efforts to address and reduce incidents of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking on college campuses and in other educational institutions. By implementing comprehensive prevention and education strategies, educational institutions aim to create a safer and more respectful campus environment while empowering individuals to recognize and address instances of sexual misconduct.
By addressing components such as harassment, domestic violence, sexual violence, etc. in Title IX and VAWA training, educational institutions can create a comprehensive and proactive approach to prevention and education, fostering a campus culture that prioritizes safety, respect, and equality.
I agree that it's a very good idea for school employees to be trained in victim behavior and trauma response. I think that not only will they be better listeners but they will be more helpful in guiding a victim that may come to them with an incident to report.
I did not know that the first two years of college and the first few months of the school year were the highest risk of sexual assault.
One of the primary objectives of remedial measures is to provide support the victim in his/her ability to continue his/her education by providing necessary support services and eliminating factors creating a hostile environment.
It is important to educate faculty and students that VAWA crimes include domestic violence and dating violence. It's important for the Title IX Coordinator to have background knowledge of the psychological effects of sexual assault in order to make and objective assessment.
Understanding the VAWA definitions for different terms is helpful in understanding Title IX more completely.
This section and the implications of what others can do to deter assault was appreciated, it is not a topic or area that I have seen addressed very often.
I was very surprised to learn that bystanders are not required by law for active intervention to prevent sexual violence. I knew the physical intervention was not required, because the bystander could be putting themselves at risk it physically, trying to prevent the sexual violence from occurring, but did not know they were protected by law even if doing nothing.
It is important as an instructor to understand the different times of violations and watch for them in students and staff.
