Title IX Certification (Higher Education) for Investigators and Decisionmakers

Richard F. Verstegen Richard F. Verstegen

4 | 90 Minute Sessions

Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs. Sexual harassment, discrimination during pregnancy and athletics, and other grievances are common Title IX complaints. The proper handling of complaints requires investigating, following legal steps, and receiving adequate training. In addition to ensuring compliance with the investigative requirements and other requirements in Title IX cases, this advanced 4-session certification program will provide higher ed employees with tools to handle Title IX investigations, grievance processes, and supportive measures. You’ll also get a thorough understanding of the recently updated Title IX regulations, including definitions, investigation processes, and decision-making procedures. Your higher ed institution must be compliant and your team must be trained to meet the requirements.

Rick Verstegen, an expert in education law, will lead you through a detailed exploration of the updated Title IX regulations, including essential definitions, investigation processes, and decision-making processes. Be sure your team is well-trained in all the requirements including how to investigate a Title IX complaint, and your institution is compliant.
