[Webinar] Transferrable Skills for Title IX and Title VI Investigators (Free Title IX In Focus Series)

Many colleges and universities have created civil rights offices that address both sexual misconduct and protected status discrimination and harassment. In creating these offices, institutions are best served by cross-training their staff on how to investigate a wide variety of cases involving all members of the campus community. Join us for a discussion of the overlap between investigating Title IX and Title VI cases and discover how the skills and techniques used in Title IX investigations can be effectively applied to Title VI cases, and vice versa.

Series Description:

The Title IX In Focus Free Webinar Series focuses on issues related to sexual misconduct, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. This series is aimed at helping colleges and universities comply with annual training requirements under the Illinois Preventing Sexual Violence in Higher Education Act (110 ILCS 155/1 et seq.) and the Clery Act (34 CFR § 668.46), in addition to ensuring ongoing discussions about practical strategies, legal updates, and trauma-informed practices. Each webinar will be presented by a member of Bricker Graydon Wyatt’s Higher Education team, and may feature guest speakers from our network of university partners, key government agencies, and seasoned professionals in the field of sexual misconduct and relationship violence.

Although we had our Illinois friends in mind when developing this series, it is open to anyone employed by a college or university. Sessions will run from August 2025 through May 2026. If you would like to request specific content or are interested in serving as a guest speaker, please contact Jessica Galanos at jgalanos@bricker.com.

Attendance at these trainings is limited to employees of higher education institutions and other individuals who provide services to those institutions. Individuals who are unaffiliated with an institution will not be permitted to attend without prior approval.

This session is pending approval by the Minimum Continuing Legal Education Board of the Supreme Court of Illinois and the Commission on Continuing Legal Education for the Ohio Supreme Court for 1.0 total CLE hours of instruction.
