Title IX Regulation Training
As required by the Final Title IX Rule (Section 106.45 (b)), all materials used to train University Title IX Coordinators, investigators, decision-makers, and any person who facilitates an informal resolution process must be made publicly available on the University's website. In compliance with this Rule, Indiana University makes available here the materials used to train its Title IX Coordinators, investigators, decision-makers, and all persons who facilitate informal resolution processes.
For the purposes of compliance with section 106.45 of the Title IX Final Rules, this page includes training materials that have been used to train Title IX Coordinators, investigators, decision-makers, and any person who facilitates an informal resolution process in Title IX compliance and practices as of 11-21-2022.
The Institutional Equity Office conducts annual Investigator, Decision-maker, and Advisor training on a number of areas including, but not limited to, the definitions of sexual harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking; the scope of the University’s education program or activity; how to conduct an investigation and grievance process, including hearings, appeals and Informal Resolution processes; how to serve impartially, including avoiding prejudgment of the facts at issue, conflicts of interest, and bias. Decision-makers will also receive training on any technology to be used at a live hearing and on issues of relevance of questions and evidence, including when questions and evidence about the Complainant’s sexual predisposition or prior sexual behavior are not relevant. Investigators will also receive training on issues of relevance to create an investigation report that fairly summarizes relevant evidence.

understand the intricacies of privilege and to explore the ways that we enjoy privileges based

This workshop lasts approximately 1 hour and is suitable for any size group, but space must be reserved that accommodates the size of the group.
