Title IX was inacted to protect students, employees, or anyone from being discriminated against based on gender identity. As an online instructor, we may not be aware of a student's sexual or gender identity but would still follow the law.

Since Title IX was enacted for discrimination protection of students, employees, or anyone based on gender identity, as well as other aspects. This ensures protection of students all over the U.S., living in various environments. It is imperative that schools/institutions follow the laws and provide the information to faculty, staff, students; including the information to report issues. It is our duty to notify someone if we believe a student is a threat to anyone else or to themselves, as well as other threats or issues.

Yes I agree with you Tricia. In my opinion students are more likely to post or type items they may not feel comfortable saying face to face to another person. The computer adds that anonymity.
Reply to Robin Wiebe's post:I agree with you Robin except that I don't think being in an online environment necessarily makes us immune from sexual or gender-based harrassment. In fact, it has been my experience that students wil sometimes say things in an online discussion that they never would have in a face to face discussion.

We are an online environment so all the safety measures are not relevant to us. Our students are from all over the U.S. so we will not be able to monitor the student's environment. We have a duty to notify someone if we believe a student is a threat to anyone else or to themselves.
