TITLE IX TRAINING SESSIONS NOW BEING OFFERED: Ensuring Equity and Due Process in Title IX Hearings- Training for Hearing Panels and Hearing Officers
The courts and federal government have spoken!
With the heightened scrutiny of campus sexual misconduct processes, it is more important than ever that institutions’ hearing officers and hearing panel members be well-trained on issues of sexual violence, due process, and hearing procedures. Importantly, due to recent court cases, schools in the 6th Circuit have particularized requirements regarding their adjudications of sexual misconduct matters. The legal and reputational risks in this area are enormous. Is your institution ready for this important responsibility?
Title IX experts Debbie Osgood and Rebecca Veidlinger have teamed up to offer a day-long training session for your hearing officers and hearing panels. The trainers have over 25 years of experience in this area and have worked with colleges and universities across the country to provide training, conduct investigations and adjudications, and informal resolutions, and revise Title IX policies and procedures. Participants will receive a Certificate of Completion.
