Sexual Misconduct Institute 2016


This four-day event brings together 200 administrators from across the country for a four-day intensive sexual misconduct investigation and adjudication skills-based education program.  Through a balanced combination of foundational learning and skill development from leading student conduct and Title IX practitioners, participants will go beyond a basic understanding of legal requirements to explore student-centered practices, rape myths and how to utilize trauma informed approaches, investigations informed by cultural competence, and multiple resolution options. Throughout the four days, the curriculum shifts from theoretical and legislative requirements towards practicing of real skills such as how to determine what questions to ask, how to write reports, and how to evaluate information. The Sexual Misconduct Institute meets the Title IX training requirements and is ideal for student conduct administrators, Title IX coordinators, investigators, and campus partners who want to learn more about the intersection of student conduct and Title IX.
