As the civil rights landscape evolves, many Title IX Coordinators now oversee broader areas of compliance, including Title VI, Title VII, Section 504, and the ADA, often without additional staffing or resources. These expanded civil rights compliance expectations can be especially challenging for small- and medium-sized schools, districts, and institutions.
To meet civil rights compliance requirements and maintain academic and employment environments free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, educational institutions must develop collaborative response protocols. This training provides a high-level, practical framework for aligning policies and procedures across multiple regulatory areas and strengthening collaboration with Student Conduct, Human Resources, and Accessibility Services within a legal and compliance context.
