Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Those sound like valuable opportunities.  For those looking for low to no cost policy resources, SAFER is a great organization, and the work that Know Your IX is doing spans policy issues as well as prevention, intake, etc.  The ATIXA model policy (which has been accepted as compliant by OCR repeatedly) is posted for free at:  http://atixa.org/resources/free-resources/  Further, ATIXA has now published the 1P1P Model, that unifies all civil rights resolution under one policy and one process for all faculty, students and staff.  It tracks recommendations made by the Montana Resolution, though it pre-existed that blueprint.  It is not free, but can be purchased from ATIXA or licensed as part of the 1P1P trainings that ATIXA provides regionally (there is one in Milwaukee next week and more to come).  All hard work and good consulting in the field appears to be having an effect, as numbers of reported sex offenses on campuses increased nationally in 2011 by 10% and early 2012 numbers look like at least another 10%.  Now, we have to be sure that we reinforce the trust greater numbers of victims are placing in the ability of their campuses to provide good resolutions -- good policy has to be backed up by good practices.

Subject: RE: Sexual misconduct investigator training

Hi Roshelle,

 

I just noticed that the ATIXA option is $2500 per person. 

If you need to find a less expensive option, there are 14 regional single day Sexual Misconduct Risk Management Policy Institutes being scheduled for the coming year. 

 

The cost per person is $100 for those who come from more than 100 miles away from the host school or $379 for up to three people.  There is a mock disciplinary hearing to start the day.  Then, an examination of every permutation of sexual misconduct, sexual exploitation, sexting, cyber-stalking, and more will be reviewed--from policy and investigation to response and prevention!

They are being sponsored by both state and national non-profit educational organizations.  I know there’s one in DC and one in Baltimore scheduled.  If you’d like more info, please feel free to email me directly.

Does anyone know of any trainings happening in the DC/Baltimore area this summer that would be useful for sexual misconduct investigators? We are hoping to host a training in the fall that deals specifically with our policy and process, but in the meantime would like to be able to send investigators to trainings regarding investigative techniques, specific complexities of these types of cases, and ways to work with both complainant and accused without unnecessarily harming either participant. Even trainings that may help to provide a better and deeper understanding of sexual violence in general would be considered.



Thanks, and take care,
