Title IX & the #MeToo Movement Process for HR
Summary
It is important to be aware of the recent proposed changes that Betsy DeVos and the Trump administration have recommended to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights’ (OCR) regarding Title IX guidelines and standards. Much of the commentary and rhetoric has been fierce, and the proposed changes have resulted in intense debates across campuses in the U.S., one of which is the position of the ACLU that the proposed changes may make students less likely to come forward or report abuse since the mandated procedures open them up to public scrutiny and the sharing of minute details of assault, harassment or misconduct in reported cases to a vast, and often unknown, audience of people. On the legal landscape, after DeVos rolled back Obama’s Title IX guidelines last year, some state and regional legislatures preemptively anticipated that the government would, in turn, formally slacken measures addressing these issues, so they started pushing anti-sexual harassment legislation to get ahead of the game. California also recently enacted anti-harassment legislation, and started offering model policies and training, including some that specifically target the prevention of harassment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Contact us for a customized demonstration and learn how LaborSoft can help you improve communications, build a more collaborative, safe, and supportive workplace, while reducing the likelihood of costly litigation.
