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.
