This past summer, the federal Department of Education issued updated regulations for school districts and universities faced with sexual harassment or sexual violence complaints. Christina, Lisa, and Miriam discuss the initial guidelines, what prompted their rescission, and the changes described in the revised regulations. When a complainant reports an incident of sexual harassment or violence, school districts now have a detailed step-by-step process to follow in investigating the grievance and coming to a determination about responsibility.  Join us for an in-depth look at what these revised regulations mean for school administrators and the challenges your district may face in amending policies, updating practices, and training your team.
