Title IX Investigations: How To Write A Report That Complies With The New Federal Regulation

Description  ChallengeThis webinar will help participants to understand how reports that were written after August 14th, 2020 must be written in a way that is extremely different from reports written previously. Key TakeawayParticipants will understand the basics behind writing a Title IX investigative report that is in line with the new federal regulation requirements that became effective on August 14th, 2020.OverviewSince the new Title IX regulations were published in May of this year, institutions have had to prepare their campus’ ability to comply during an extremely challenging time in our nation’s history. And all this amidst a barrage of other significant changes to other federal regs that affected educational institutions.Out of the many new changes required of institutions in addressing campus sexual harassment cases, the manner in which investigative reports (and investigations in general) were written also changed. In addition to the overall equitable manner required in which parties were provided information by the institution and/or the ability to provide their own witnesses and engage in the grievance process, the look and feel of an investigative report that carries the same “equitable” presentation of evidence and information has become a hallmark of the Title IX grievance process under the new regs.This webinar will assist participants in understanding the basics of how an investigative report that complies with the new regs should be written and provides examples and information regarding critical sections of an investigative report.Objectives Understand new regulation requirements relating to investigative reports Understand the basics of writing a Title IX investigative report Identify sections and formats used in creating an investigative report Discuss language that should or should not be used in the report Provide examples of verbiage institutions may want to include in an investigative report Who Should Attend Administration Decision Makers/adjudicators Human Resources Title IX Coordinators Student Services/Affairs Faculty Executives Any educator interested in learning more about writing Title IX investigation reports
