Title IX regulations require higher education institutions to issue a notice of allegations following a formal complaint of sexual misconduct and to amend the notice with any new information throughout the complaint resolution process. Failure to properly draft and update a notice of allegations can lead to problems in the investigation and adjudication process and even put your institution at risk during a regulatory investigation or private lawsuit.
Join us for a one-hour training focused on strategies for drafting and amending a notice of allegations during a Title IX process. Our training is conducted by higher education attorneys who regularly assist clients in drafting and amending notices of allegations. We will discuss common mistakes that are made in notices of allegations, the impact those mistakes can have later in the process, and how you can avoid the same mistakes at your institution. Attendees will have an opportunity to work through hypothetical issues that colleges and universities may face in drafting and amending notices, as well as a chance to ask the presenters questions related to notices of allegations.
Specific topics covered in this training include:
- Content required in a notice of allegations
- Which policy violations to notice based on the conduct alleged
- Recommended language to use when noticing particular policy violations
- Importance of amending a notice of allegations
- Common mistakes in drafting and amending a notice of allegations
- Hypothetical issues related to drafting and amending a notice
- Q & A
