Professional Development - Title IX Process Volunteer Training

Thursday, 07 November, 2024

In 2020, the federal Title IX regulations that provide the basis for the University Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Policy required a hearing process, or opportunity for an informal process, to adjudicate claims of sexual and gender-based discrimination and/or misconduct. Updates to Title IX, and our policy accordingly, were made during the summer of 2024.

This important policy governs the response and adjudication processes for students, staff and faculty who bring forward their experiences in the work and learning environment, or who have allegations brought forward against them. Essential to these processes are trained advisors, investigators, hearing panelists, and informal process facilitators to serve our campus community.

OED asks that you consider registering for one of the 2-hour training sessions to learn more about the policy and process. If after taking the training, you do not wish to participate in any of the roles listed above, you will not be asked to serve.

A large, diverse pool of faculty and staff is needed to ensure this process works. Two sessions have been set for November.

  • Thursday, Nov. 7 @ 12:00-2:00 p.m. in-person luncheon. Lunch is provided.

  • Wednesday, Nov. 20 @ 9:00-11:00 a.m.  via Zoom.

Register for Title IX Process Volunteer Training.
