The ACLU Women's Rights Project and Students Active for Ending Rape (SAFER) have collaborated to produce a new fact sheet related to a college or university's obligations to deal with sexual harassment, assault and rape, and the potential liability faced by educational institutions when they are deliberately indifferent to harassment and rape occurring in their educational programs and activities. The fact sheet lays out the Title IX landscape in a way that's easy to understand and use to promote more comprehensive policies and practices regarding rape and harassment prevention at colleges and universities.
Thanks to the folks at the SAFER blog for bringing this to our attention.
An interdisciplinary resource for news, legal developments, commentary, and scholarship about Title IX, the federal statute prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded schools.
