NEW YORK, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Traliant, an innovator in online compliance training, today announced a new course on preventing sex discrimination under Title IX, the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational institutions that receive federal funding. The course complies with the US Department of Education's April 2024 rule, which takes effect on August 1 and requires educational institutions to train all employees annually on preventing sex discrimination.
Created by industry experts, Traliant's new course, Title IX Training – Preventing Sexual Discrimination, uses interactive scenarios and practical examples to explain Title IX and how to recognize and report sex discrimination and sex-based harassment. The course gives students, faculty and staff the tools they need to identify and address sex discrimination and foster a more respectful and inclusive educational environment.
Traliant offers two versions of the Title IX course, one for faculty and staff and one for students addressing the schools' obligations to address sex discrimination:
Title IX: Preventing Sexual Discrimination for Faculty and Staff training for post-secondary school employees and student employees covers:
- What constitutes sex discrimination and sex-based harassment under the April rule
- The new requirements on preventing discrimination based on gender identity, sexual orientation and pregnancy
- Student and employee rights to pregnancy modifications
- How to report potential sex discrimination and protections against retaliation
- The new mandatory notification requirements that apply to all employees
- How to respond if a colleague or student discloses potential sex discrimination
Title IX: Preventing Sexual Discrimination for Students training for students at post-secondary schools covers:
- What constitutes sex discrimination and sex-based harassment under the April rule
- How to understand consent
- Preventing discrimination based on gender identity, sexual orientation and pregnancy
- Bystander intervention
- Pregnancy modifications available to students
- How to report potential sex discrimination and protections against retaliation
- How to find confidential support resources, whether or not a student chooses to initiate the Title IX process
The student course also complies with California Education Code Section 67385.7, which takes effect on September 1, 2024, and requires most post-secondary schools in California that receive state funding to train all students annually on prevention of sexual harassment and violence.
"The DOE's April rule is a major change in the law that imposes a range of new requirements on schools and their employees. Schools covered by Title IX must have an up-to-date training program that prepares faculty, staff and students to identify and respond to sex discrimination and harassment when they see it," said Michael Johnson, Chief Strategy Officer at Traliant. "By educating students and employees on their rights and responsibilities, institutions can foster a safe, respectful and inclusive learning environment and avoid the financial, reputational and other harms that flow from harassment and discrimination on campus."
All Traliant's courses are fully customizable, so they can be tailored to fit every institution's specific needs. Flexible delivery options minimize disruption and maximize the effectiveness of the training. To learn more, visit Traliant's Title IX Training.
