ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the evolving application of Title IX in higher education settings with a focus on athletics, followed by considerations for academic and co-curricular resources, gender-based violence, and sexual harassment. It explores the impact of the laws on the management of colleges and universities, campus applications of regulatory guidance, and state and federal policy implications. Coordinated community response teams (CCRTs) operate as cross-functional networks of staff, faculty, institutional leaders, and community stakeholders such as law enforcement and victim advocates to leverage existing prevention, handling, and responses processes on campus to encompass sexual violence, domestic violence, sexual harassment, and other forms of gender-based violence as it may occur on campus. The Clery Act was passed in 1990 and requires all colleges and universities receiving federal student financial aid funding to share information about crime on their campus in an annual report. Administrators are particularly aware of the financial implications of non-compliance with Title IX requirements.
