On August 14, 2020, the U.S. Department of Education’s new and controversial Title IX Rule concerning allegations of sexual harassment takes effect. As one way of complying with the new rule, PIHMA uses an online lecture series created by Thompson Coburn’s Higher Education Practice to train its staff and faculty. This series provides foundational training for those individuals who will be administering the new Title IX, including Title IX coordinators, investigators, advisors, hearing officers, and appeal officers.
Pursuant to the new rule, colleges and universities are required to train these individuals to carry out their roles. The training must cover certain, specified concepts, and institutions must post any training materials they use to their external websites, making them available to the public.
