Mandatory Training
Training Materials for Title IX Personnel: § 106.45(b)(1)(iii) & § 106.45(b)(10)(i)(D)
- The Title IX Rule requires schools’ Title IX personnel to be unbiased and free from conflicts of interest.
- Title IX personnel include the Title IX Coordinator, any investigator, or any decision-maker.
- Schools must ensure that Title IX personnel receive training as follows:
- On Title IX’s definition of “sexual harassment”
- On the scope of the school’s education program or activity
- On how to conduct an investigation and grievance process
- On how to serve impartially, including by avoiding prejudgment of the facts at issue
- On how to avoid conflicts of interest and bias
- Decision-makers must receive training on any technology to be used at a live hearing, and on issues of relevance of questions and evidence, including when questions and evidence about a complainant’s sexual predisposition or prior sexual behavior are not relevant
- Investigators must receive training on issues of relevance to create an investigative report that fairly summarizes relevant evidence
- All materials used to train Title IX personnel:
- Must not rely on sex stereotypes,
- Must promote impartial investigations and adjudications of formal complaints of sexual harassment,
- Must be maintained by the school for at least 7 years,
- Must be publicly available on the school’s website; if the school does not maintain a website the school must make the training materials available upon request for inspection by members of the public.
- Under the Title IX Rule, students, employees, the Department of Education, and the public will be able to examine a school’s training materials, providing a necessary safeguard to improve the impartiality, reliability, and legitimacy of Title IX proceedings. This requirement will improve the overall transparency and integrity of a school’s Title IX policies and procedures.
- Schools must publish training materials that are up to date and reflect the latest training provided to Title IX personnel.
- Information taken from the Office of Civil Rights.
