I found this training to be extremely beneficial. Even though I may be familiar with much of the content. Each time I think of different ways to perceive what I'm reading. In my profession, I have unfortunately dealt with my fair share of sexual harassment. It is crucial that institutions work on developing a cultutre that no longer tolerates discrimination, harassment and abuse of any kind. That we will not tolerate nothing short of inlcusion and positive touch. As educators it is our responsibilty. While it troubles me that there is a need to have inacted these policies I am deeply thankful they exist.
I have recieved a lot of training in the past regarding sexual assualt prevention, discrimination, and sexual harrassement. I am appreciative of the different policies, laws, and acts that are in place to protect students on compuses as well. I can remember when there wasn't much of anything to protect students who were affected by various inappropriate acts on campuses. Students have the right to obtain an education without being judged based on their race, gender, orientation, or having their personal space violated.
The training reviewed the importance and legal implications surrounding non-discriminatory policies and practices to ensure an equitable and respectful learning environment.
Title IX was introduced to ensure students and faculty are protected against various forms of harassment and violence, and to provide a path for reporting these violations to the institutions where they occur. Annuasl reporting aids in providing information and may even provide tends.
This training was a refreshner on Title IX. This presentation was very informative and detailed. Protecting students from unwanted sexual situation regarless of sex, gender, orientation , etc. is the goal of Title IX. This is necessary in order to have a productive and positive educational experience.
I found it interesting that the U.S. Department of Education’s Financial Student Aid office monitors VAWA compliance Targeted Clery Act compliance reviews may be initiated by FSA for reasons including information obtained from students, the media, or the Department’s Office for Civil Rights where a Title IX investigation raises Clery Act issues, such as failure to catalog and report crimes. Its good to see all these departments tie into each other.
Being in Higher Education for 27 years I have been through many training sessions on Sexual Harassment, Discrimination, Harassment. As educators, we were educated about our interactions with students, we were educated about looking after students' welfare, students' safety, and more importantly making sure that students were in a safe and comfortable environment all the time. We were reminded that even there was a department of Students' Services to look after anything and everything about students safety, welfare, and their physical and mental wellness we as Faculty had a role to be aware, observant, and mindful of students' physical and mental wellness and if we observed an event, or were made aware of an event or an incidence that involved any kind of harassment, discrimination, physical or mental assault on any student(s) it was our legal responsibility to report it to the Dean of Students and the HR.
Before I went through this module I always associated Title IX with Athletics and Gender Equality and fairness, especially to female athletes. However, I now have learned about Clery Act, I have learned about VAWA, and how they all are connected to Title IX. I have learned a bit more about the various processes of Title IX.
Colleges and universities can curb sexual violence on campus and create the safe, respectful, collegiate learning and teaching environment that every student and employee deserves through education, training, ongoing dialogue and a deliberate shaping of campus culture. Federal laws empower educational institutions to take action against sexual violence on campus and drive the culture change that discourages violent crimes among a collegiate community
Title IX is a really intereseting since we are a cosmetology school with dorms and have a 98% female enrollmet. However, we also have a lot of students that identify as LGBTQ
I have a better understanding of the Clery Act and VAWA requirements of students, employees, and instatusional obligation. When an event occures also what the instatution is required to have in place for prevention, as well as response and reporting. The whole idea is to provide a safer place for everyone involved students, employees, bystanders, and victoms. The confidenciality of the information in reporting as well as response were covered. Its all about making the safest environment possible for everyone at the institution.
Although the institution through which I'm taking this course is online, I believer Title IX is still relevant. Types of issues/behaviors that Title IX is concerned with -- including bullying, intimidation, etc -- can still be perpetrated via online. Through the training, I'm interested in the online focus, and how Title IX addresses paricular issues that might arise from online teaching environments.
Although we may be doing on-line instruction, we still must be extremely aware of sexual misconduct that can occur through the on-line platform and in our courses. As we all know sexual harrassment comes in many forms including lewd and inappropriate jokes and conversation. This module helps break down and make clear VAWA policies and how it relates to the Clery Act also.
Title IX covers many forms/types of harrassment.I read the material and it just proved to me keeping a "Professional Distantance" is the best defence. I have always respected my co-workers and my students and respect their lifestyles, that is their business.
I have learned how important it is for we instructors to be aware of any sexual discrimination that could occur and to do our parts to help reduce the risk of violence and harassment on all levels.
I learned about the different entities associated with Title IX.
I have already had education regarding Title IX
I have learned how this has changed in 2017. I was not aware of that.
I did not know that transgender students where protected under Title IX and the different forms of sex-based harassment are forms of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX. Reading these definitions will help me be aware of sex-based harassment and able to report it if seen.
Really good training and reminder of how we need to keep our campuses (and corp. office) safe for everyone.
