Add to Your Options with ATIXA’s Informal Resolution Framework
This foundational course aims to familiarize participants with ATIXA’s Informal Resolution Framework and the crucial elements to consider when deciding whether to offer informal resolution in a Title IX grievance process. It covers various topics, including the structural and policy choices that institutions must make and how institutional culture affects them.
Rather than adopting a particular model of alternative dispute resolution (facilitated dialogue, restorative practices mediation, etc.), ATIXA’s experts will survey a variety of options and introduce a unique model that is specifically suited to Title IX complaints by borrowing elements of various models while adding some innovative practices uniquely designed to facilitate durable, fair, and equitable resolution of Title IX complaints.
ATIXA’s expert faculty members will also guide participants through a case study as each step of the informal resolution process is discussed in the course.
