Webinar: Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Jana's Campaign

Ain't No Mountain High Enough

About

During this interactive session, the presenters will provide practical tips and considerations on how to address obstacles during Title IX investigations, in particular investigations involving intimate partner violence, in a neutral, efficient, and trauma-informed manner. Specifically, the presenters will discuss amending investigations and considerations for cross-claims, understanding the relevancy of evidence concerning parties’ relationships, investigating allegations involving multiple (more than two) parties, and processing and presenting voluminous evidence. The presentation will offer a discussion of solutions to these challenges, including a discussion of various investigatory models and best practices for organizations tasked with conducting investigations, such as higher education institutions. In addition, the presentation will include an examination of how the August 2020 federal regulations impact these challenges, as well newly anticipated obstacles and potential solutions.
