Decision Makers
Conducting Fair, Equitable, and Compliant Title IX Hearings
The Decision-Maker Training covers the skills essential to conducting an efficient, respectful, fair, impartial, and compliant Title IX hearing. It is ideal for any stakeholder needing to work through the intricacies of setting up and running a smooth hearing. This training includes a step-by-step overview of the hearing process. Participants will then utilize a mock investigation report to practice skills required from the beginning to the end of the hearing process.
This training is practical and experiential in nature and provides a deep dive into the role of the decision-maker. Participants build skills on making relevancy determinations, asking questions, and writing the decision/outcome letter.
