As institutions work to build effective prevention and response programs for campus sexual violence, colleges and universities are tasked with drafting policies and procedures that align with both the Clery Act and Title IX. Join the Clery Center and Victim Rights Law Center for an interactive webinar highlighting compliance challenges and solutions that comprehensively integrate both laws. This session will specifically address topics such as:
• The similarities and differences between “campus security authorities" and "responsible employees”
• What information must be reported under each law
• Accommodations and interim measures
• Collaboration between individuals and departments responsible for reporting
• Training of campus officials
Performance Objectives:
• Identify requirements of the Clery Act regarding procedures following a report of a sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking
• Recognize intersections between Title IX and the Clery Act
• Develop or refine institution’s sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking policy statements
• Design a collaborative approach to support services for student and employee victims of crime
