Training staff and students on Title IX and VAWA promotes awareness, prevents harassment, and ensures fair responses. Sharing Best practices and lessons learned helps create safer, more supportive, and accountable campuses.

I’ve learned the importance of prompt, fair, and informed responses to Title IX issues. Best practices include clear communication, providing resources, and ensuring confidentiality when requested. My action plan is to apply these procedures consistently, promote education and awareness, and support a safe campus environment. Successes include improved understanding of policies; challenges involve balancing confidentiality with campus safety.

One of the most valuable lessons I’ve taken from this course is how critical it is to go beyond just “knowing” Title IX and VAWA policies, and instead, learning how to apply them in real situations. Understanding the laws is one thing—but being prepared to respond when a student or colleague comes forward with a concern is what truly makes the difference in protecting our learning environment.

A strategy that has worked well for me is active listening combined with resource connection. When someone shares a concern, the natural instinct is to try to fix the problem immediately. However, I’ve… >>>

I will use this course to create and maintain a basis of understanding of title 9 and Vawa.

I am happy to say that I appreciate such in depth training on both Title IX and VAWA. I was not as familiar with the Clery Act, which saddens me that previous Institutes I have worked for does not provide such in depth training to employees and students. Knowing and being familiar with these will help not only me but all in general to hopefully provide a safer environment for our learning. 

I have learned how to provide a legal foundation to ensure educational equity and how to prevent sex-based discrimination and sexual violence on campus. This course will help me fulfill my role as a Coordinator in addressing discrimination, harassment, and assault, to ensure a safe learning environment. 

The very essence of this training is that we must take ownership of our actions and the safety of others. Always be aware of your surroundings and if you see something, say something. We all must take responsibility.

Great Refresher Course

Very important information.

I plan to move forward with more knowledge and efficiency.

The training on Title IX, VAWA, and the Cleary Act was very informative and insightful.  As an educator in today's world it is imperative to be informed and alert in areas concerning sexual harassment.  

Take it seriously and repoti it to your Title IX Coordinator or local Deputy.

As I learn more about the significant power to investigate immediately once informed, my humble opinion would be to report immediatley to the Title IX coordinator any potential allegations in the hopes of providing protection of potential victims. 

To be able to properly utuilize resources is important for students and faculty. This information is needed as we have an ever shifting culture.

I completed the required training on the various topics and found each to be useful to maintain compliance and awareness of each regulation.

Title 9 protections apply to students, employees, applicants for admission and employment, and other persons at person at postsecondary institutions. 

Being able to refresh Title IX laws and appropriate ways to handle difficult and sometime high stress siturations is valuable. Knowing the proper procedures and how to make the entire community feel safer is rewarding.

Very informative and better understanding to be able to help students and staff. 

I will continue to be committed to the values of Ogle. Learning, understand, and improving in all areas of my job. I will apply what I learn in this complaince training to help protect the staff and students. 

Plan of actions is great when everyone is on the same page.
