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.
What I've Learned
From this module, I gained a deeper understanding of how Title IV governs federal student aid and how it impacts educational institutions' responsibilities. I also learned how VAWA contributes to creating safer environments by enforcing institutional policies against gender-based violence and promoting awareness.
Application
Title IV: I will apply this knowledge by ensuring that educational institutions adhere to Title IV regulations, helping students navigate financial aid processes, and understanding the consequences of non-compliance. Whether advising students or working within a higher education institution, I will prioritize transparency and accuracy in dealing with federal financial aid.
VAWA: I will use the knowledge from VAWA to contribute to creating safer educational and community spaces by promoting awareness, encouraging proactive measures to prevent gender-based violence, and supporting victims with proper resources and legal protections. In my role, I would ensure compliance with VAWA's requirements regarding reporting, policy development, and providing prevention programs to students and staff.
The training session was very informative. In every way possible it is important to protect Equal access to education, gender equality, protection from sexual harassment.
I've learned then importance of Title IX in schools and institutions, and how we can keep students and staff safe.
As instructors, Title IX and VAWA are incredibly important to not only understand but make sure that we are always making sure that students and employees are protected. This was a very detailed and great course.
This is always a good review and an essential aspect of keeping students, faculty, and staff safe on campus and beyond.
I've gained a more thorough understanding of the policies within Title IX and VAWA.
I appreciate the ongoing training and awareness
