Title IX and VAWA Training: Building Safer Campuses --> Overview of Title IX and VAWA
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
It is very important to know that we have a coordinator to title 1X in the school, as well as I hade better idea about title 1X and VAWA.
It is great that recent dynamics in regards Title IX happening at the end of 2024 and beginning 2025 were included. This knowledge is very useful a I teach Sociology and many topics correlate with my curriculum.
I learned about schools' obligations to Title IX, such as having a Title IX coordinator designated and dissemination of materials and information. I intend to apply this learned information by following the procedures outlined in Title IX and speaking with the appropriate authority when I see any acts that I believe may violate the amendment.
I learned a lot from this course. As educators we need to do all we can to ensure that our students are protected.
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, while the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is a law that aims to combat violence against women and people of all genders.
Title IX and VAWA include supportive measures to help individuals affected by discrimination or violence, such as academic adjustments or safety accommodations.
This was very informative information.
Title IX is an important law that protects students, faculty, and staff at post-secondary institutions. I have read some things about Title IX before, and this offers a very detailed explanation about it. It is good to know and have at institutions.
I feel it is also good to know about VAWA which is associated w/ Title IX in some aspect. Having this knowledge is good to know especially when creating a safe environment for students.
Compared to other training this module goes into depth to explain the importance and value behind having a strong foundation in Title IX.
Title IX was created to protect students, employees and/or anyone that feels that they were discriminated, sexually assaulted, a victim of domestic violence, dating violence and being stalked.
This is for everyone's protection and it's important to uphold, report, and prosecute any and all offenders.
We need to feel safe in the classrooms and in the workplace.
I knew more or less about Title IX, but the detailed explanation as well as how VAWA and the Clery Act relate to it was new to me. It turned out a lot more informative that I thought. It's important information for us as faculty to know and understand so we can be a part of the solution going forward.
Title IX was enacted to protect specific classes like Gender Identity of students, faculty and staff. It ensures protection of these classes and more for every environment across the country. I hope to help by being someone to talk to if there was every a violation against title IX
I think this course will help everyone understand why Title IX exists and how it helps everyone.
I think knowing and understanding these laws and the intentions behind them, it empowers us as educators to have an awareness of what constitutes discrimination/harassment in our teaching environment. Understanding these laws may help us identify potential problems, especially in f2f environments, before they actually materialize. I have not previously worked in a place that required Title IX and/or VAWA training, but it is good to know when and where to turn to should I ever come across a situation that requires reporting.
VAWA requires all new and current employees to receive 1) primary and 2) ongoing sexual violence awareness and prevention programming at least once annually.
Title IX benefits everyone. The law ensures that all federally funded educational institutions maintain policies and programs so no one is discriminated against.
I have had this training for the last 15 years and I do find this explanation useful and detailed.
This was a new topic me and it was interesting to learn. I found it important to know that the Title IX, VAWA, and Clery act are all related but that a title IX verbal sex-based harassment wouldn’t fall under a VAWA crime or Clery crime. I will have to find out the information related to our specific university.
