We know that BIPOC individuals experience incidents of sexual harassment, but have you ever wondered why BIPOC individuals tend to underreport to Title IX offices? Are you concerned that there may be an overrepresentation of BIPOC respondents engaged in your process? Do you have little to no participation of BIPOC individuals in your education and prevention events? What systems can you put into place to ensure BIPOC individuals feel comfortable accessing your services and feel assured that they will be treated equitably while doing so? How do you effectively develop rapport and trust with BIPOC parties?

Collecting data, engaging with the BIPOC populations at your institution, and doing some personal work can put you on a path to answer these questions and more.

Hospitals without Title IX compliance programs should begin those efforts now in order to come into compliance with their legal obligations.

The Who’s Who on the Title IX Team – K-12 Edition outlines the importance of creating sustainable and effective Title IX team structures in response to the 2020 federal Title IX regulations. Schools and districts must assign standard Title IX responsibilities to positions rather than individuals, ensuring continuity and compliance amid changes in staff.

1P2P is a unified policy and procedure model for the resolution of all allegations of all forms of Protected Characteristic Discrimination defined herein involving all qualified Respondents. This model policy and the separate procedures below can be implemented by any post-secondary institution.

ATIXA recognizes that schools vary in size, structure, governance, capacity, and resources and has drafted this model to comply with all federal nondiscrimination laws and implementing regulations applicable to post-secondary education and employment. This version does not contain content specific to state or local laws or regulations that may be applicable. Each end-user should ensure that state and local provisions are included as necessary or may commission ATIXA to create state-specific versions.

This version of the 1P2P model is provided free of charge to ATIXA members and is available for purchase by non-members.

ATIXA’s One Policy, Two Procedures: Version 6 (1P2P) (2020 Regulations) has been updated to align more closely with the One Policy, One Procedures (1P1P) (2024 Regulations), facilitating smoother policy transitions to future regulations. Key changes include updated offense definitions with new terms for disparate treatment and disparate impact, clearer integration of Collateral Misconduct, refined descriptions of Informal Resolution approaches, and provisions for adapting policies in response to legal challenges to future regulations. The updated version also differentiates between Title IX Sexual Harassment and other discrimination forms and includes an implementation guide for customizing the policy.

This version is only available free to members of ATIXA. Not a member? Join today!

This model is compliant with the 2020 Title IX regulations. It can be applied to students and/or employees, for the big five offenses only (sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating, violence, domestic violence, and stalking). AMPP has only a Section 106.45-compliant (Process A) model. It assumes users already have a Process B in place as an alternative when Process A does not apply.

You’re now faced with a complex and time-consuming policy and procedure revision task. Let ATIXA’s policy experts throw you a lifeline with a shortcut you can rely on. ATIXA’s K-12 Model Policies and Procedures (K-12 AMPP) is a state-of-the-art template for the policies and procedures you need to comply with the 2020 Title IX Regulations.

This model policy and procedures can be implemented at large or small K-12 school districts and within public, private, charter, or independent K-12 schools. ATIXA recognizes that schools vary in size, structure, governance, capacity, and resources and has drafted this model to comply with the federal 2020 Title IX Regulations.
