Did you go to the conference last week in Virginia? Most of the people – including the OCR Enforcement Attorney for Virginia – said that you can use your judicial for both, as long as it meets the Title IX requirements (equitable, prompt, lower standard of proof etc). I was trying to see how different people do it. One person suggested Stonehill College as a model (and they left it at that). I am continuing my research.

This is a great question and I’d also be curious to hear the responses. At UW-Madison, my understanding is that Title IX and student code of conduct investigations could be concurrent but are investigated under two separate processes (one outlined by the state of Wisconsin administrative code which governs the student code of conduct and the other by federal law).

Dear Friends,

Do any institutions use their judicial process (whether or not they have a special body for handling cases of sexual misconduct) as both their judicial response and their Title IX process? At last week’s National Forum in Hampton, the OCR indicated this is a possible method for responding on Title IX and I wanted to see if any schools have had good luck in using this method?
