Title IX and VAWA Training: Building Safer Campuses Now Available Online
Postsecondary institutions throughout the country have been adjusting to increased focus by the United States Department of Education ("ED") on reducing sexual misconduct on college campuses. ED has increased investigation of school compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 ("Title IX") through its Office for Civil Rights ("OCR") which enforces Title IX (130 plus institutions under investigation currently). The final federal regulations implementing VAWA went into effect on July 1, 2015 and apply to all postsecondary institutions that participate in the federal Title IV student financial aid program, even wholly on-line institutions and institutions without residential housing. Training requirement is at least annually.
