The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is pleased to announce that it will host a 2 - day intensive training entitled “The Four Corners of Title IX Regulatory Compliance.” Title IX compliance may be the most complicated regulatory mandate colleges must comply with. Professor Peter Lake, a leading authority on Title IX and a well-known scholar in higher education law and policy, has developed a model for a well-ordered Title IX response system. Lake’s Four Corners of Title IX Regulatory Compliance addresses the following metrics:
§ Organization and management -appropriately trained and positioned staff, website design, self-evaluation of the system
§ Investigation and discipline -including fairness to both the complainant and respondent, potential challenges to our systems in court, appeals, review and grievance procedures for staff and students
§ Victim support and assistance -victim trauma issues and support services including advocacy, counseling, and academic assistance
§ Culture and climate management -surveys and “checks,” and “voluntary compliance” with the spirit of the Title IX
Join Professor Lake and learn how you can create a robust, comprehensive Title IX system that complies with both the letter and spirit of the law.
This two-day intensive training class is designed for Virginia Title IX coordinators/deputy coordinators/investigators, campus police and campus security administrators and officers who have responsibility for conducting, assisting, or overseeing Title IX investigations and compliance on their Virginia college campuses.
