The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is pleased to announce that it will host a 3-day intensive and updated training entitled “The Four Corners of Title IX Regulatory Compliance.” Title IX compliance mandates continue to evolve rapidly in extremely complex ways. Title IX regulations that took effect on August 14, 2020 are still in force, and personnel must be trained in accordance with these regulations…. and must be prepared to demonstrate that they have this training if called to do so by legal authorities. The 2020 regulations have been modified by litigation in critical ways; the Biden administration has engaged in significant regulatory enforcement under the prevailing regulations and has proposed new regulations that have yet to be promulgated; the Supreme Court has also taken steps that impact Title IX practice on campus. Professor of Law and practicing attorney Peter Lake, an expert 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 and continues to tune that model to recent Title IX legal developments. For personnel entering new Title IX roles on campus, this training is essential for institutional compliance. Experienced professionals also need up-to-the-minute training as well. Be in compliance: stay in compliance in this time of Title IX fluctuation.
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, discipline and mediation—including fairness to both the complainant and respondent, potential challenges to our systems in court, appeals, review and grievance procedures for staff and students.
Supportive measures—support services for complainants and respondents, including interim measures and advocacy.
Culture and climate management—surveys and “checks,” violence prevention, 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 is the only course of its type to emphasize the educational opportunities and challenges of Title IX. This course will also cover legal foundations, such as need-to-know recent rulings from the Supreme Court and trends in the field, and an in-depth discussion of the new proposed regulations and how to prepare your campus for the changes to come.
This three-day intensive training class is designed for Virginia Title IX coordinators, deputy Title IX coordinators, Title IX investigators, Title IX decision-makers, campus conduct administrators, residence life administrators, mediators, and 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.
Partial In-service Credit for law enforcement is available.
