WEBINAR: Understanding the Higher Education Civil Rights Landscape: Section 504, ADA, Title IX, and

When:  Dec 6, 2024 from 02:00:00 PM to 02:30:00 PM (ET)

Colleges are governed by federal, state, and local civil rights laws, including Section 504, ADA, Title IX, and Title VI that prohibit discrimination on the bases of many protected classes, including as disability, sex, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, race, color, national origin, shared ancestry and ethnic characteristics. Join three former U.S. Dept. of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR) attorneys who now lead university civil rights offices, in discussing the overlap between these laws and their processes. We will cover an overview of key civil rights issues, such as the impact of new Title IX and/or Section 504 regulations, navigating civil rights conduct processes, pregnancy accommodations, how to engage your campus’ bias response or threat processes, and how to build and sustain relationships between disability services and civil rights/equity offices. The presenters will engage in interactive conversations using case studies, share best practices, and provide practical tools.
