In 2014, the federal government addressed the issue of student victimization through the expansion of Title IX. Every school district, college, and university receiving federal funding is accountable to reduce and ultimately eliminate sexual harassment and sexual violence in their settings.
The requirements are extensive and apply to other forms of discrimination as well, and the consequences for noncompliance for students and schools are significant.
Yet at this time, less than 1% of schools nationwide are in compliance, putting their students and their schools at additional risk.
Ultimately, Title IX compliance will help both students and schools, and so will this book.
Over de auteur
Steve Cohen, Ed D, and Larry Altman, JD, have extensive backgrounds that enable them to assist schools from elementary to university level with compliance with Title IX. They know that with compliance comes protection and see it as a vehicle to protect students and schools, something they care deeply about. Cohen, a management expert, has a doctorate in educational psychology and expertise in Title VII, which is basically the business version of Title IX. Altman has been an advocate for students in his entire legal career from private practice to Title IX coordinator for a district with thirty-four schools, including vocational and alternative high schools. By combining their strengths, they hope to do their part to eliminate all forms of student bullying and harassment.
