In this episode of 'Your Morning Boost,' host Adam Busch tackles the critical subject of implementing Title IX supportive measures during investigations. Title IX, a crucial federal law, prohibits sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, in educational programs. When an investigation is initiated, ensuring the safety and well-being of all parties involved is paramount.
The discussion emphasizes the importance of supportive measures, which are non-disciplinary and non-punitive, aimed at allowing both complainants and respondents to continue their education without undue burdens. Bush provides insights into practical supportive measures like temporary no-contact orders, class or activity restrictions, and enhanced supervision in school premises. The aim is always to provide a flexible and responsive approach, regularly reviewing and adjusting these measures to prevent unwarranted hardships.
Additionally, Bush discusses the importance of clear communication protocols and anti-retaliation measures to protect those involved in the investigation process. Providing access to support services, including counseling and academic assistance, is also highlighted as crucial for both complainants and respondents. Ultimately, the goal is to foster a safe and supportive educational environment, ensuring fairness and due process for everyone involved.
