On Wednesday, Aug. 7, the FTCoE hosts A Campus-Wide Response to Sexual Misconduct: Best Practices from 1-2:30 p.m. This webinar highlights the dynamics of campus sexual assault that may be specific to, or heightened in the context of, a college or university setting. Additionally, Presenter Elizabeth Seney, Senior Associate Director of the Office for Institutional Equity and the Interim Title IX Coordinator at the University of Michigan, discusses best practices in three areas of response to sexual misconduct on campus. The webinar integrates information about the legal framework within which institutions must operate (e.g., Title IX, VAWA, Clery, case law, state laws, etc.) with the nuances of supporting students and creating a safe and respectful campus climate.
