It is important for all students to recognize any sexual misconduct violations, and it is equally important for you to understand Title IX and California State laws that govern how we address allegations. We offer online training for all students through your MyVCCCD Portal. Simply use the search tool to find "Title IX Training" once you have logged into your MyVCCCD account.  
 
If you have not yet received a Certificate of Completion for this training, please complete it at your earliest convenience!  

Access Title IX Training using the MyVCCCD Portal  

Mandated Reporting Training for Employees now available through ATIXA. 

As District Employees ("Responsible Employees") are Officials with Authority, we are required to report allegations of sexual harassment or misconduct. 

Officials with Authority are required to report all relevant information they know about sexual harassment including the name of the Respondent, the Complainant and any other witnesses. In addition, they are required to report any information such as date, time, and location of the alleged incident.

Mandated Reporting Training for Employees now available through ATIXA. 

VCCCD staff and faculty participate in ongoing professional development throughout the year, including training on Title IX, mandatory reporting, and related subjects through Keenan Safe Colleges and other professional organizations.

All employees are required to complete these Keenan Safe Colleges Training modules:

• Title IX and Sexual Harassment Prevention: Full Course (California edition)
  28-minute training
• Sexual Harassment Prevention for Non-Manager (SB1343)
  60-minute training

In addition to the training requirements listed above for all employees, supervisors, managers, and administrators complete an additional training through Keenan Safe Colleges:

• Sexual Violence Awareness for Employees (Campus SAVE Act): Full Course (39-minute training video)
• Responding to Sexual Misconduct: Effective Institutional Compliance w/ Title IX, SB493, and Related Laws: In-Person Training provided by Liebert Cassidy Whitmore (May 2, 2023 Slides)

The college Title IX Coordinators are required to respond to reports of sexual harassment or misconduct, handling information received with the utmost discretion and sensitivity. The Title IX Rule requires Title IX Coordinators (and all associated Title IX personnel) to be unbiased and free from conflict of interest. As such, the District ensures that Title IX Coordinators receive training on:

• Title IX's definition of "sexual harassment"
• The scope of the school's education program or activity
• How to conduct an investigation and grievance process
• How to serve impartially, including how to avoid prejudgement of the facts at issue
• How to avoid conflicts of interest and bias
• New legislative changes

To receive training on these topics, our Title IX Coordinators complete a variety of Title IX certification workshops, such as:

• ATIXA: Regulations Implementation for Higher Education Overview (sample agenda)
• ATIXA: Title IX Coordinator One: Foundations Course (sample 2-Day agenda)
• ATIXA: Title IX Coordinator Two: Additional Topics for New and Experienced Coordinators (sample agenda)
• ATIXA: Title IX Compliance and Athletics (sample agenda)
• ATIXA: What the Title IX Team Needs to Know About Stalking Allegations Workshop

Those individuals who serve as Title IX Investigators must also receive specialized training. To ensure the highest level of integrity in these processes, VCCCD currently contracts with neutral outside agencies to select individuals to assist with formal Title IX investigations and hearing processes. Investigators are trained in civil-rights, trauma-informed investigative procedures, and on issues of relevance to create an investigative report that fairly summarizes relevant evidence.

• ATIXA Civil Rights Investigator Three Training & Certification (Sample Agenda)

VCCCD currently contracts with neutral outside agencies to serve as Decision-Makers in any hearing processes that arise. These Decision-Makers are the persons who oversee the live hearing and make a determination of responsibility. Each is trained on issues of relevance of questions and evidence. As part of the preparation for each scheduled hearing, the identified Decision-Maker, along with the VCCCD Title IX Coordinator, and other personnel involved with scheduling and organizing the hearing process participate in a training workshop. Those training materials are presented here:
