Title IX Coordinator Certification Higher Ed

Practical Compliance, Investigations, and Risk Management

Richard F. Verstegen Richard F. Verstegen
Title IX compliance in higher education requires constant judgment, consistency, and documentation. This attorney-led certification is designed for Title IX Coordinators and campus leaders who need a practical, defensible framework for managing sex discrimination complaints across academic and employment settings.

Led by Richard F. Verstegen, this course focuses on how to operationalize Title IX requirements, conduct fair and impartial investigations, and apply institutional policies to complex, real-world situations. Participants learn how to align procedures with federal expectations, manage overlapping legal obligations, and reduce institutional risk through clear processes and thorough recordkeeping.

Rather than focusing on short-term rule changes, this certification emphasizes durable compliance principles that remain applicable as guidance, enforcement priorities, and interpretations evolve. Participants leave with a structured approach they can adapt over time, along with tools to support consistent decision-making and audit-ready documentation.
