This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, research, activity, and funding has been devoted to improving the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine. In recent years the diversity of those participating in these fields, particularly the participation of women, has improved and there are significantly more women entering careers and studying science, engineering, and medicine than ever before. However, as women increasingly enter these fields they face biases and barriers and it is not surprising that sexual harassment is one of these barriers. Over thirty years the incidence of sexual harassment in different industries has held steady, yet now more women are in the workforce and in academia, and in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine (as students and faculty) and so more women are experiencing sexual harassment as they work and learn. Over the last several years, revelations of the sexual harassment experienced by women in the workplace and in academic settings have raised urgent questions about the specific impact of this discriminatory behavior on women and the extent to which it is limiting their careers. Sexual Harassment of Women explores the influence of sexual harassment in academia on the career advancement of women in the scientific, technical, and medical workforce. This report reviews the research on the extent to which women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine are victimized by sexual harassment and examines the existing information on the extent to which sexual harassment in academia negatively impacts the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women pursuing scientific, engineering, technical, and medical careers. It also identifies and analyzes the policies, strategies and practices that have been the most successful in preventing and addressing sexual harassment in these settings.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the Title IX guidance from the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights from the 2011 Dear Colleague letter and the 2020 Final Rule, and then to interview university Title IX coordinators about their experiences responding to the substantial changes under each administration's policies. In this study, I addressed the fluctuations in Title IX guidance, and how Title IX offices in institutions of higher education can maintain compliance amid such impermanence. Research questions included: How did the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights' Title IX guidance from the 2011 Dear Colleague letter compare to the 2020 Title IX Final Rule? How did these contrasting reforms affect university Title IX offices and their policies? How did such fluctuations impact coordinators in these roles?
Download or read book Ending Campus Violence written by Brian Van Brunt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the growth of threats and violence in higher education settings, college campuses are increasingly expected to have systems in place to identify potentially aggressive individuals and intervene to ensure the safety of the campus population. This book will be useful for student affairs professionals as well as college counselors, psychologists, social workers interested in the practical management of aggression and violence on a college campus. It will also be a valuable resource for those involved in creating and running behavioral intervention teams and threat/risk assessment teams. Ten case studies from both the community and residential college settings provide a comprehensive overview of campus violence and how to intervene to prevent it. Pertinent background information is discussed as an introduction to these narratives, such as the fundamentals of aggression and violence on campuses; how these behaviors can impact students, faculty, and staff; and what can be learned from past campus violence. Along with discussion questions and a review of ways to approach each situation, experts in higher education, forensic risk assessment, law enforcement, and legal issues weigh in on each case study. Their perspectives offer a context and broad base of opinions and ideas on how each case could be handled. Additional examples for further training of the college counselor are given through a detailed look at almost 100 incidents of violence, including thwarted attacks, rampage shootings, and hostage situations.

This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence against women on college campuses has remained underreported and often under addressed by both campus security and local law enforcement, as well as campus administrators. The researchers, practitioners, and activists who contribute to this pertinent volume Addressing Violence Against Women on College Campuses examine the extent, nature, dynamic and contexts of violence against women at institutions of higher education. This book is designed to facilitate an ongoing discussion and provide direction on how best to prevent and investigate violence against women, and intervene to assist victims while reducing the impact of these crimes. Chapters detail the necessary changes and implications that are part of Title IX and other federal legislation and initiatives as well as the effect these changes have had for higher education actors, including campus administrators, victim advocates, and student activists. The contributors also explore the importance of campus efforts to estimate the extent of violence against women; educating young men and women on the nature of sexual and dating violence; and shifting efforts to both make offenders accountable for their crimes and prompt all bystanders to act. Addressing Violence Against Women on College Campuses urgently argues to make violence prevention is not separate from but rather an integral part of the student experience.

Download or read book Ethical and Legal Issues in Student Affairs and Higher Education written by Anne M. Hornak and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to help the reader gain knowledge on ethical and legal issues in the field of student affairs and develop competency to follow the profession’s principles and standards of conduct. The significance of the book is due to its focus on the practical value of ethics and legal issues and its aim to address the knowledge, skills, and dispositions required of student affairs educators to develop and maintain integrity in their life and work as described by the ACPA/NASPA. The text offers readers a number of major unique features: It offers multiple ethical decision-making models to guide student affairs educators in their ethical decision-making process. It proposes that ethics is not an individual but an organizational responsibility. It offers that ethical decision making is a professional skill that can be practiced and applied in student affairs educators’ day-to-day practice. It presents the reader with the most current legal issues in student affairs and higher education. Finally, it reflects three themes: integration of ACPA/NASPA competency areas; development of professional identity; and application of knowledge and theory to practice. The book is critical and timely. A book that focuses on ethical and legal issues in student affairs is needed for faculty in preparation programs, new professionals navigating their identity as student affairs educators, and a resource for mid- and senior-level professionals facilitating ongoing professional development. The book begins to address what it means to have a professional identity, which is ground in the shared ethical and legal values espoused within the profession and academia. Each chapter uniquely contributes to the complexity embedded in the study of ethics and how that is applied to practice. Additionally, the volume is a balance of procedural knowledge, case illustrations, and guided practice exercises to facilitate the reader’s ability to translate the theory and research discussed into professional decision making and application.

Download or read book Title IX Administrator Perception of Institution Compliance with Title IX Regulations written by Vicki Schreiber and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, no one shall be discriminated against based on their sex or gender. Over the years, the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) sent out Dear Colleague letters as a way to issue guidance on interpretation of Title IX. Many iterations and guidance documents have been issued over the years since this amendment. On April 4, 2011, the Office of Civil Rights issued a Dear Colleague letter outlining mandates for colleges and universities to assist students with complaints of sexual misconduct. The purpose of this study was to examine Title IX administrator perception of institutional compliance at small, private institutions with regard to the guidelines highlighted in the April 4, 2011 Dear Colleague letter. Secondary to overall perceived compliance, the study aimed to get feedback from these administrators on perceived barriers to compliance and effectiveness of remedies used for cases of sexual misconduct. Findings indicate that Title IX administrators at small, private institutions generally perceive compliance with most regulations outlined in the April 4, 2011 Dear Colleague letter. Statistically significant associations reportedly exist between the compliance topics of investigations, training, and education if the respondent or their respective institution hold membership in a Title IX related organization such as the Association for Student Conduct Administration (ASCA), Association for Title IX Administrators (ATIXA), or the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management (NCHERM). Respondents also reported that the most significant barrier to compliance is the ability to effectively train their administrators annually because national trainers can be costly. In order for Title IX administrators at small, private institutions to increase their perception of compliance, administrators would benefit from membership in one of the Title IX related organizations listed, or a similar organization that can assist campus administrators in keeping up with the changing legislation. This could also assist administrators in collectively working to provide training for coordinators, adjudicators, and investigators by learning from colleagues and finding additional ways to accomplish these areas of compliance while keeping costs down.
Download or read book The Campus Rape Frenzy written by KC Johnson and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, politicians led by President Obama and prominent senators and governors have teamed with extremists on campus to portray our nation’s institutions of higher learning as awash in a violent crime wave—and to suggest (preposterously) that university leaders, professors, and students are indifferent to female sexual assault victims in their midst. Neither of these claims has any bearing to reality. But they have achieved widespread acceptance, thanks in part to misleading alarums from the Obama administration and biased media coverage led by The New York Times. The frenzy about campus rape has helped stimulate—and has been fanned by—ideologically skewed campus sexual assault policies and lawless commands issued by federal bureaucrats to force the nation’s all-too-compliant colleges and universities essentially to presume the guilt of accused students. The result has been a widespread disregard of such bedrock American principles as the presumption of innocence and the need for fair play. This book uses hard facts to set the record straight. It explores, among other things, nearly two dozen of the cases since 2010 in which students who in all likelihood would have or have subsequently been found not guilty in a court of law have, in a lopsided process, been hastily and carelessly branded as sex criminals and expelled or otherwise punished by their colleges, often after being tarred and feathered by their fellow students. And it shows why all students—and, eventually, society as a whole—are harmed when our nation’s universities abandon pursuit of truth and seek instead to accommodate the passions of the mob. As detailed in the new Epilogue, some encouraging events have transpired since this book was first published in October 2016. A majority of the judicial rulings in dozens of lawsuits by male students claiming their schools treated them unfairly and discriminated against them based on their gender have rebuked the schools for their handling of these cases. And Education Secretary Betsy DeVos called for fairness to accused students and accusers alike, revoked most of the guilt-presuming Obama-era policies, and began a protracted rule-making process designed to compel procedural fairness and nondiscrimination.
Download or read book Title IX Compliance at Two Year Colleges written by Cory Scott Causby and published by . This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Title IX legislation has been in effect since 1972 and has created unprecedented positive change on intercollegiate athletics, educational institutions have still had difficulty meeting the basic requirements set forth by Title IX and ensuring gender equity in their athletic programs. Additionally, specific research has been largely limited on Title IX compliance issues focused exclusively on two-year institutions and the unique nature of these programs. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the perceptions of two-year college athletic administrators regarding efforts surrounding Title IX compliance. The study identified perceived levels of compliance to Title IX within two-year college athletic programs as well as effective strategies for and barriers against Title IX compliance efforts within these programs. Findings were analyzed by respondent and institutional variables identified in previous research as potential influencers of Title IX compliance efforts including athletic administrator gender, availability of scholarships, presence of intercollegiate football, longevity of athletic program, athletic operating budget, and presence of a formal booster organization and/or formal external media agreement for athletic teams. Senior athletic administrators (N=191, 32% response rate) from the National Junior College Athletic Association and California Community College Athletic Association completed the Two-Year College Title IX Survey. Results demonstrated an overall favorable perception regarding current compliance for respondent institutions (M=8.1, SD=2.4 on a 0--12 scale) and a common set of strategies for and barriers against Title IX compliance efforts. Study participants on the whole perceived the inability to attract female student-athletes along with unclear compliance guidelines and a lack of centralized training and support as key issues with meeting Title IX requirements. Similarly, participants perceived the importance of formalized program assessment tools, clearly communicated and understood external compliance standards, and enhanced focus on attracting and retaining female athletes as top strategy options. Institutions without football ( M=8.23, SD=2.26) reported higher average levels of compliance than those with football (M=6.85, SD=2.48, p=.006). No significant differences by institutional variable were shown for compliance strategies, suggesting a common group of potential recommendations irrespective of institutional characteristics. Female athletic administrators indicated significantly higher levels of agreement for barrier scales Leadership (lack of female representation in leadership positions: Mm=2.05, SDm =0.67, Mf=2.57, SD f=0.85) and Regulations (complexity and generic nature of Title IX regulations: Mm=2.27, SDm=0.63, Mf=2.68, SDf=0.75) than did male administrators. Additionally, institutions without athletic scholarships demonstrated higher average agreement for barrier scales Unavailability (inability to attract female student-athletes: My=2.31, SDy=0.70, Mn=2.75, SDn=0.66) and Leadership (My=2.03, SDy=0.69, Mn=2.34, SDn=0.77) than scholarship-granting schools. From a theoretical perspective, the study provides insight into the unique nature and diversity of athletics programs at two-year institutions to include the framework from which they operate. Practically, study results identified a common set of strategies and barriers associated with Title IX compliance that could be beneficial to the gender equity efforts of two-year college athletic programs, irrespective of institutional profile.
