Acquire Practical Skills to Guide Your Institution in Navigating Compliance Challenges Related to Sex Discrimination
This two-day course focuses on sex discrimination compliance responsibilities including overall program assessment. This course will help practitioners address disparate treatment, disparate impact, and retaliation complaints, including targeted culture/climate assessments and investigations. The course explores common program and service areas where sex discrimination complaints originate, including athletics, and best practices for support of pregnancy and related conditions.
ATIXA’s expert faculty members will provide participants and overview of ATIXA’s recommended grievance process for sex discrimination and retaliation complaints, while sharing practical knowledge and tips to prepare participants to lead institutions through complex complaint resolutions. Participants will also examine the intersections between disability law and sex discrimination.
Participants will also learn what to expect when the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) reviews an institution’s program compliance.
