News reports of the failures on campuses for not acting quickly or effectively to complaints of sexual assault, harassment, or misconduct.  Register today to attend an exciting presentation on your responsibilities related to Title IX. Never before have we had the opportunity to have such a dynamic presenter on this subject.
This session will include practical information on how to identify sexual assault, harassment, and sexual misconduct and will inform participants about institutional and individual duties to report sexual abuse, sexual misconduct and other behaviors that fall under Title IX.
