The focus is within educational settings including admissions, programs, athletics and employment. I intend to adhere to these laws by identifying and reporting misconduct in a confidential manner.
VAWA requires employees and students to receive ongoing training for awareness and prevention, which is helpful and will ensure safety.
I found the Clery Act to be the most interesting piece of information in this module. After a 19 year old woman (Jeanne Clery) was raped and murdered from Lehigh University it was uncovered that the University had been hiding dozens of prior cases or sexual assault. The Clery Act holds institutions accountable to accurately track and report these cases, leading to prevention and response training for students and staff.
In this module, I learned about the provisions of Title IX and the Clery Act, including amendments made through the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act. I also learned about the roles and responsibilities of Title IX coordinators, as well as the responsibilities of institutional employees in responding appropriately to Title IX complaints. In addition, I learned about the disciplinary procedures for individuals who violate Title IX and reinforced my understanding of sexual assault and related issues.
