Title IX Guidance
Title IX and Sexual Assault/Harassment
On April 4, 2011, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) Office of Civil Rights (OCR) released a Dear Colleague Letter providing guidance and reminding colleges and universities that accept federal funds of their responsibilities under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to address sexual harassment and assault. The Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) is based on the OCR interpretation of the 2001 Revised Sexual Harassment Guidance and provides institutions with practical examples of how postsecondary institutions should comply with Title IX by proactive education and by taking action to end harassment, prevent recurrence and remedy the effects. Student Affairs leaders should ensure that institution processes are updated to comply with the 2011 Dear Colleague Letter and the 2001 Revised Sexual Harassment guidance. Some resources for NASPA members to get started include:
