Design Training to Ensure the Investigation Process is Compliant from Initial Report to Final Resolution
Although the proposed changes to Title IX have caused confusion, one thing is clear: institutions must conduct investigation processes that are compliant. Title IX sexual misconduct cases remain exceedingly complex, and investigators are called upon to provide a fair and unbiased investigative process to protect the rights and privacy of all parties.

Gain specific strategies, understanding and awareness of the training you should be doing, as well as documentation and reporting expectations required in Title IX and sexual misconduct investigations. Ensure your process is equitable, impartial, and thorough by emphasizing the importance of comprehensive training and practice from start to finish.
You’ll be able to craft compliant training for your investigators to ensure that your process from investigation to hearing is compliant with Title IX regulations.
