From the Investigations and Disciplinary Procedures module, I learned that Title IX investigations must be prompt, fair, and impartial, with clearly defined procedures that protect the rights of all parties involved. Also, I learned the importance of due process, including timely notice of allegations, transparency in procedures, and freedom from conflicts of interest or bias. I intend to apply all of these to support campus safety and trust.

This training reinforces that effective Title IX and VAWA implementation is both a legal responsibility and an ethical commitment. Postsecondary personnel must ensure legal compliance, mitigate institutional liability, and foster a safe, equitable campus environment.  Applying these principles daily helps protect individuals, reduce risk to the institution, and foster a safer, more inclusive learning environment.

This training helps me recognize, report, and appropriately address sexual misconduct, while educating me on the mandated procedures necessary to protect both students and employees.
