Title IX, Clery Law, VAWA

I agree with the legislation that passed to specifically protect minorities. Violence of any kind is not to be tolerated in a civilized society, especially institutions of higher learning. Since LGBTQ+ and women have been traditionally at higher risk of violence, especially sexual violence and discrimination, these Laws at the very least give possible perpetrators a chance to think over the legal repercussions of carrying out their crime. Victims of these types of crimes may take a small comfort in knowing justice will be served.

Benefits Of Ongoing Admission Training

I learned that ongoing admissions training is essential for maintaining compliance, professionalism, and effectiveness in the admissions process. Regular training helps admissions representatives stay current with changes in regulations, institutional policies, admissions requirements, financial aid information, and consumer protection practices.

Accreditation

If a school is not accredited by Dept of Education, and they can still enroll but not get Title IV funding, will they be institutional or programmatic accredited?
