As a nurse I have been a mandatory reporter for decades. My understanding of and appreciation for all the Title IX coordinator is responsible for has greatLu increased.
I also realize how well I was cared for by the institution I taught for when I needed to leave an abusive marriage.
As a Title IX Coordinator it I very important to be visible to students and employees and to reassure them that information being shared will be kept confidential.
Title IX coordinator is a necessary and important role to have, so employees know who they can go to.
A nice review of the role of the Title IX coordinator.
I have a better understanding of the role of the Title IX coordinator and how things should operate if located at a smaller university.
The Title IX coordinator is responsible for the training, procedure and processing of any harassment that takes place within the organization. However, the Title IX coordinator must take into consideration the confidentiality and protection of the victim and proceed with caution as it relates to the policies established. Being aware of the process, allows the instructors to initiate the proper procedure and direct the student or employee appropriately.
I appreciate knowing how to report incidents, should a student come to me with an issue.
Comment on Adriele Malone's post: Yes. That was the biggest takeaway for me in this module.
The responsibility to insure we create a safe environment where students feel they can share their experiences.
The Title IX Coordinator should be present and approachable for students and staff to feel comfortable making a report.
The Title IX Coordinator is crucial in creating a safe and inclusive environment within the campus where all students can thrive.
Jennifer that is so true. Online is becoming the go to for education due to the demand for adult education while working. Cyber bullying is a real threat and a title IV coordinator is needed.
THe title IX coordinator has a huge role in the enforcement and implementation of the title 9 scope which includes:
"A recipient institution that receives Department funds must operate its education program or activity in a nondiscriminatory manner free of discrimination based on sex, including sexual orientation and gender identity. Some key issue areas in which recipients have Title IX obligations are: recruitment, admissions, and counseling; financial assistance; athletics; sex-based harassment, which encompasses sexual assault and other forms of sexual violence; treatment of pregnant and parenting students; treatment of LGBTQI+ students; discipline; single-sex education; and employment. Also, no recipient or other person may intimidate, threaten, coerce, or discriminate against any individual for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege secured by Title IX or its implementing regulations, or because the individual has made a report or complaint, testified, assisted, or participated or refused to participate in a proceeding under Title IX. For a recipient to retaliate in any way is considered a violation of Title IX. The Department’s Title IX regulations (Volume 34, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 106) provide additional information about the forms of discrimination prohibited by Title IX." according to the department of education
I learned the necessary steps that need to be taken when reporting an incident that has occurred as well as the importance of immediate action.
Immediate responses for complaints of this nature are very important. However, all involved should take precaution to make sure it is handled properly and professionally.
Very informative session. The Title IX coordinator is responsible to coordinate the necessary trainings to all staff, students and faculty members and reporting incidents is extremely important.
The school has a responsibility to identify the Responsible Employees. Social media post that include information about assaults have to be reported to the Title IX coordinator or responsible employee.
The title IX coordinator is the lead example of all the procedures that need to take place if any conflict happens.
This module was really informative on how to protect our students and what to do about it while they getting attacked by all this verbal harassment, unwanted text, etc
