SI.com, comments on changes to Title IX guidance and interpretation

Brett Sokolow, President & CEO of The NCHERM Group and Executive Director of ATIXA, comments on changes to Title IX guidance and Florida State University’s struggle to interpret them in connection to allegations of rage against Jameis Winston at SI.com: The changes [to FSU’s Title IX policy] largely resulted from a 2011 requirement of the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights that schools across the country “change the culture of on-campus sexual harassment and violence.” In wake of the initiative, universities were not given specific guidelines on how to comply. “They weren’t changing by the minute, but things were changing every time new guidance would come out,” Association of Title IX Administrators executive director Brett Sokolow told the Tampa Bay Times. “And new guidance was coming out left and right.” http://ow.ly/YZv7U
