Free and Low Cost Resources From The State University of New York
|
|
|
As the financial, logistical, and personal challenges wrought by COVID-19 continue to mount, the team at SUNY is pleased to provide some support to colleagues across the country by increasing
access to free and very low cost resources to help colleges meet and exceed obligations in sexual and interpersonal violence prevention and response—including those in the new Title IX Regulations.
In this e-mail, please find:
·
Updated access to SPARC, free student-facing online training in prevention
·
Advance access to Student Conduct Institute content for
any institution joining for next year, including all the training and content created around the Title IX Regulations (of course at no extra per person cost!)
·
The Joint Guidance, free deep-dive analysis of the Title IX Regulations, prepared by some of the nation’s leading attorneys
·
The Visa and Immigration Resource, a requirement of the VAWA amendments to Clery, offered absolutely free
Please let us know if you’d
like to connect about any of the resources or joining the Student Conduct Institute (which has now grown to about 200 schools across the country!)

Free SPARC Course: Tuesdays at 3:00 PM EST
|
|
|
Now with COVID-19 adding additional financial pressure to all institutions (including ours), we’d like to offer you a little extra help. Last year we released SPARC 2.0 and with it a 125 page
implementation guide to assist you through the process.
This year we’d like to help further by offering a weekly class to break down how to launch your own version of SPARC (and/or TRAC). This will occur
every Tuesday at 3:00 PM EST.

Rebecca Harrington, LEAD Developer of SPARC and TRAC and Health Educator at SUNY Oneonta and Lisa Campo, SUNY Paralegal and Manager of the SPARC registration system are offering this weekly course,
Tuesdays at 3pm.
Each week will tackle one chapter of the implementation manual and teach you the tech skills you will need to customize your own SPARC and TRAC. Oh, and as you might have guessed, we aren’t charging
for this weekly series either.

SUNY Student Conduct Institute
|
|
|
Like you, our SUNY colleges have spent the last two months addressing incredible challenges stemming from COVID-19. With students flung across the country, colleges everywhere are trying to provide
better service while facing budget challenges. And while not certain, we expect Title IX Regulations to issue next week, and be effective in August.
While most days my inbox finds some offer to “certify” institutions in these existing and novel requirements for thousands of dollars per person,
we are taking a different approach.

The Student Conduct Institute runs as a
not-for-profit. The $5,000 annual membership covers a whole institution for a whole year.
That's it.
·
No upsells.
·
No "gold levels" available only to the few.
·
No per person charges.
Higher ed working to train higher ed.
In case you haven't heard, if any institution in any state joins for the 2020-2021 year (our fiscal year runs July 1 – June 30), we will administratively turn on full access to the
digital courses and
casebook shortly after receiving payment. We are happy to provide up to two additional months of access, including all of our Title IX guidance, Title IX directed conversation calls, model policies, web content, and anything
else we develop this summer, at no additional cost.

We are currently serving hundreds of institutions across the country.

Joint Guidance on Title IX Regulations
|
|
|
While many companies may seek to sell expensive “insider” guidance on the Title IX Regulations, we are pleased to have partnered with about 50 of the nation’s leading attorneys from 20+ institutions
and firms to offer the most detailed and comprehensive Joint Guidance, for free.
|
|
|
In the Joint Guidance, we review each provision and provide analysis and initial guidance regarding implementation and challenges that may arise. The Joint Guidance is intended to be thoughtful,
high-quality, and widely available to institutions large and small, public and private, urban and rural, well-resourced, and budget challenged. Crucially, there is no charge to access the Joint Guidance or any of its components and it will be continuously
updated as additional resources come online. While hosted and coordinated by SUNY, this is a project of equal partners dedicated to collegially helping colleagues in higher education.

SUNY Visa and Immigration Resource
|
|
|
In the amendments to the Clery Act, VAWA required that colleges provide reporting victims with (among other things) “visa and immigration assistance” 79 Fed. Reg. 62785 (2014).
SUNY created a service that allows every institution to create a resource customized to the services at their institution, accurate to current immigration law, and automatically translated into
120 languages so that students could access the content in their native language in a time of trauma.
We make it available to use and customize for absolutely no charge.
