Understanding Title IX, VAWA, and the Clery Act
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
From this module, I gained a clearer understanding of how Title IX, VAWA, and the Clery Act intersect to create a safer campus environment. Specifically, learning the distinct differences between the acts was helpful—recognizing that while Title IX focuses on gender-based discrimination and harassment, VAWA specifically addresses violence (like domestic/dating violence and stalking), and the Clery Act centers on transparency and crime reporting.
I intend to apply this by ensuring I am fully up to date on our school's specific reporting protocols. I want to make sure everyone knows exactly who our Title IX Coordinator is and what my responsibilities are as a mandatory reporter/responsible employee. My goal is to help foster a culture where students feel safe coming forward because they know their rights will be respected and the institution will handle reports transparently.
I was reminded of the provisions and protections under Title IX, the Clery Act, and VAWA and how they intersect to promote safety, equity, and accountability in educational institutions.
I have learned a lot of new information surrounding Title IX. This course is really increasing my knowledge on these laws.
I learned more about Title IX, VAWA, and the Clery Act, three laws related to campus safety, sexual misconduct, and victim support. These laws work together to promote a safe, inclusive, and supportive campus environment.
I have learned that all three Title IX, the Violence Against Women Act, and the Clery act are pieces of legislation in the United States that address issues related to gender based violence and campus safety. Furthermore, I learned VAWA specifically addresses domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The way to apply it at work is to always know who your Title IX representative is so that you may refer any possible misconduct to the school.
Wow? Not sure where to start? I could go over this section again-a lot of Title IX info to process and stay abreast on. The Cleary act, purpose(es), protections and standards are all very important to campus life, structure and safety procedures.
While I am familiar with Title IX, I had not heard of VAWA before, and so this lesson has taught me the key differences between the two, as well as their individual importance.
I gained better knowledge on TitleIX
No person, on the basis of sex, should be excluded from participation in, any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The CleryAct – was enacted in 1990 to require all schools receiving federal monies to collect and publish information about crimes occurring on campus. The Clery Act applies only to institutions of higher education.
I appreciated this training module as a refresher on the topics of Title IX and the Clery Act as well as VAWA. It is so interesting how current elected officials can modify what and who is covered and how with each new term. What I was really reminded of taking this training is the necessity of these laws to be in place to require universities and places of higher learning to protect students in institutions of learning. The extensions and umbrella of protections for persons of all genders is a necessity and I appreciate the enforcement that requires universities to investigate, report, and address all issues associated with gender and sexual/physical harassment.
I learned the differences between Title IX, Cleary act and VAWA and how the laws work with each of them.
Regulations are ever changing and evolving. Thank you for the updated facts.
Thank You for this. As we all know, regulations are ever changing. I have a much broader understanding of the many types of mis-conduct and what is / what isn't classified as a Title IX offense.
Gained clarity on Title IX and Clery Act and how sexual harrassment should be handled within the school.
Great module, I have learned procedural fairness, basic fariness, supportive measures I also learned the effects of sexual voilence.
Depressions, Flashbacks and Post tramautic stress disorder.
I have gained a deeper understanding of Title IX, The Clery Act, and Violence Against Women Act, including updated made since 2020.
No matter who is involved or notified of a complaint, proper response training is critical. To minimize risk and exposure, take affirmative steps to ensure that employees know their duty.
I have learned that Title IX is in place and designed to address various forms of misconduct in higher education. This gives standards that can be followed so that students , staff and faculty feel safe on college campuses while also preventing or decreasing crime and violence.
I certainly learned more about The Clery Act, when to report, and Title IX requirements standards.
