Title IX Coordinators are responsible for overseeing the entire breadth of an institution's Title IX compliance efforts. This includes gender discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, sexual assault, and athletics. These are significant responsibilities. To be effective, Coordinators and other institutional personnel that work on Title IX matters should be well versed in the procedures, policies, and training mechanisms in place for addressing campus sexual harassment, sexual violence, and equity in athletics. It is crucial that Title IX Coordinators receive appropriate training to successfully handle the position's multiple responsibilities.
Because of Federal court orders, the U.S. Department of Education is currently enjoined from enforcing the 2024 Final Rule in certain states and schools. Therefore, this updated course covers both the August 2020 and August 2024 Title IX regulations. Course participants should consult with counsel and their institution to determine which regulations apply to their institution.
The course features access to:
- Ten substantive modules and an introductory module. These modules contain pre-recorded webinars and many of the modules feature multiple prerecorded submodules. Each module includes assessment questions and a PowerPoint, and a list of resources is also available to participants.
- Two interactive, live online forums with the course instructors offered each fall and spring semester (recordings are made available to those unable to attend live).
Participants can access course materials for one year from the date of purchase.
Note: The course addresses both the U.S. Department of Education’s August 2020 and 2024 Title IX regulations addressing sexual harassment. The 2020 regulations require institutions of higher education to make any Title IX training materials publicly available on their websites. Accordingly, course participants may post the updated course materials if they deem doing so appropriate in accordance with §106.45(b)(10). NACUA does not grant course participants permission to post course materials that were created prior to the release of the August 2020 regulations.
