Title IX, the Clery Act, and VAWA are necessary in order to protect students, faculty, and administrators who may be discriminated against based gender identity. I am an in-person instructor and I want to protect and provide support to my students and my coworkers if in the unfortunate case discrimination of this kind happens.
I have learned the importance of being familiar with TIX to stay in compliance with federal laws at my school.
Institutions are required to have policies in place regarding VAWA crimes, including a statement of policy regarding the institution’s programs to prevent crimes such as dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking.
Lots of good information with detailed information. I will certainly be able to apply the knowledge gained here to help create a great environment at my place of work.
I never fully understood the Cleary Act until now. I now understand it’s significance and my responsibility in reporting the mandated unsafe acts.
Title IX helps to ensure that students and staff are all provided with the same opportunities to work and learn without being discriminated against due to their personal identity. I am thankful that these regulations provide anyone with the opportunity to better themselves and their futures.
We are obligated to protect students, faculty and staff from discrimination & bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Title IV renders these activities against the law; it is a means to keep our partners safe.
I find it interesting that we need a law to to provide basic human understanding and compassion for all.
I think that one of my biggest takeaways from this module is that victims need a clear procedure on what to do and who to go to when one of these situations arises.
Title IX training is necessary to provide a safe space for everyone. Reporting needs to be done in order to keep all stakeholders safe in an institution. Title IX does not discriminate based on any identifiable differences and is an expectation for everyone.
Title IX prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational programs and activites in all federally funded schools. It is the school's responsibility to ensure it is taking prompt action to end sexual discrimination or harassment. It is important that faculty and staff also know the policies and procedures as it relates to Title IX as they must know how to act promptly when/if such an act occurs at their school. Knowing the policies and procedures helps to mitigate the situation quickly and correctly.
As a former educator in Bethlehem, PA, I am very familiar with The Clery Act. In my previous position, I would assist the Title IX officer in collecting and reporting of the annual statistics.
I have been aware of Title IX, but now being on the educator side, the laws behind this have been eye opening and broader than I had previously realized.
This is detailed and allows protection of all entities within an institution - very good that different agencies are working together to mitigate this problem and provide valuable resources to victims.
I learned about the details of Title IX. As a parent of a college student, I am grateful for these laws.
Through this course I learned that the Clery Act requires all schools to disclose information about crime statistics on college campuses. This is a great tool for any parent that is looking to send their child to college. As a parent, I would want to research crime statistics of the prospective college to better understand how well crime prevention is taken care of.
This was a very detailed and easy to under description of Title IX/Clery/VAWA. While I have been a Title IX Coordinator for many years, the information provided, including the excellent template examples will greatly assist me in further revisions at my institution.
Comment on Sheila Heinert's post: Title IX is an eye opening issue and I agree with Sheila that it was informative.
Comment on Vern Fryberger's post: Title IX and VAWA is to guarantee equal right under the law and that institutions are mandated to be in compliance with the law in protect all from sexual misconduct whether intended or not.
Title IX and VAWA both exist to allow both students and faculty/staff to learn and work in an environment free from harassment and/or violence. I am glad that these are in place and designed to allow people to be able to learn and/or work in an environment regardless of their race, gender, orientation, and nationality.
How important the Title IX awareness and training is to all and annual updates. One can never get to complacent in this day and age.
Title IX provides an understanding, support, and legal reporting for anyone that is discriminated against based on sex, gender, ethnicity, and nationality.
I think that this is very important to understand to ensure that this is not happening in the workplace or school. If this should occur, a person should understand that reporting is necessary if an allegation is made and for the allegation to be investigated promptly.
