Colleagues: FYI below and attached, the public comment on proposed Title IX regulations made by SBCTC Executive Director Jan Yoshiwara. I shared this with your Title IX Coordinators just now as well. (Since some of you also serve as Title IX Coordinators, you are receiving this information twice.)

Colleagues: thanks again to those of you who weighed in with comments about the proposed Title IX regulations from Secretary DeVos. SBCTC Executive Director Jan Yoshiwara sent the attached public comment via the regulations.gov portal last Friday, January 11.  Her comments were informed by your concerns, especially about due process changes, and also reflect input from Supervising AAG Dave Stolier about the challenges they create given the Washington State APA.

Subject: RE: Proposed Title IX Regulations

Hello,

Thank you for asking and coordinating our input. I have reviewed both the proposed regulations and the responses of my colleagues in this email thread. I agree with all the previously-stated concerns and wish to add the following thoughts:

Actual Notice

Clarity around this issue is needed for institutions and I'm glad it is addressed, but the proposed regulations would permit a school to severely limit which officials receive "actual notice." Steps should be taken to ensure schools do not make it overly burdensome for individuals to report.

Reports and Formal Complaints

Requiring complainants to sign a formal statement before their complaint will be investigated will likely have a chilling effect on reporting.

Due Process Requirements

I believe the live hearing and providing an advisor requirements, as well as the detailed administrative requirements concerning recordkeeping and communication with the parties, would be the most burdensome of the proposed changes for Pierce College to adopt.

Requiring cross-examination in a live hearing is likely to have a chilling effect on reporting, particularly in cases where there is an institutional power imbalance between the complainant and respondent (student/faculty or employee/supervisor).

Requiring that notice letters to both complainants and respondents state that the respondent is "presumed not responsible" and warn against making false statements, taken together, may unintentionally communicate to complainants that the school assumes they are lying. More neutral language such as "no determination has been made at this time" regarding responsibility may help preserve due process without alarming complainants and/or potentially prompting them to withdraw their complaint.

Pierce currently has some separation of duties in place regarding investigations and decision-making; however, it appears these regulations would require us to add at least one (possibly two) more individual(s) to that process.

Standard of Evidence

The proposed regulations require that the standard of evidence used for complaints against students be the same as that used for complaints against faculty. Employees, and specifically tenured faculty members, have rights related to their employment that do not apply to students. Employment policies or collective bargaining agreements may or may not specify a "standard of evidence" to be used, but they do provide specific rights and obligations related to the employment relationship. Students (who are not also employees) have their own rights, and the school has its own obligations towards them, that are different from those of employees. I realize that previous guidance raised similar concerns (stating the options for appeal should be the same for students and employees, etc.), so this may not be unique to these proposed regulations, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I do not believe it makes sense to apply rules related to discipline for employees to student processes.

Cost Estimate Assumptions

The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking estimates a cost savings for institutions as a result of these regulations, primarily based on the assumption that formal complaints would decrease. I think formal complaints will likely decrease; however, schools' costs and obligations when responding to formal complaints will likely increase. Title IX Coordinators will likely spend substantial time on supportive measures, meeting with complainants, and administrative record-keeping, and less time overseeing investigations. (This may be a change for some schools, but not others.)

Thank you,

Subject: RE: Proposed Title IX Regulations

Greetings,

I appreciate SBCTC's coordinated response and share the concerns expressed so eloquently thus far, especially regarding the requirement for all formal complaints to be adjudicated in a live hearing. The equity issues are of particular concern. The expertise, or lack thereof, of the advisors will have a major impact on the proceedings and those parties without resources will be at a significant disadvantage. Low-income students, or the colleges, are unlikely to be able to fund an advisor to match a highly experienced attorney.

Regards,
Mariko

Good Morning,

Thank you for seeking input.  Bellingham Technical College supports all of the concerns already submitted by our colleagues.  I am especially concerned about the impact of claimants feeling deterred to report as well as the burden on small colleges to provide robust Title IX staffing/advisors.

Subject: RE: Proposed Title IX Regulations

Good morning,

Just wanted to chime in on behalf of Skagit Valley College.  In consultation with out Title IX Coordinator, we are in agreement with all previously expressed concerns, summarized as:


*         Significant concerns relating to Due Process requirements, specifically noting deterrent effects on reporting, staffing limitations, and relaxed obligations of institutions to investigate.

Specific concerns are highlighted below in yellow.

Due Process Requirement:  As a small college, our Title IX resources are already stretched thin and the new Due Process Requirements would require us to identify up to three (3) individuals for disciplinary proceedings AND we would be responsible for providing an Advisor for parties that do not or cannot bring their own.  In addition, the hearings would allow cross-examination.  This feels too much like a court setting, and we (Student Services and Title IX Coordinator(s)) would need considerable training to ensure that parties are not further harassed or harmed by the proceedings.    I am afraid that the cross examination requirement will deter people from bring forward complaints as they may be forced to face the respondent.

Disciplinary proceedings must involve many things that colleges likely are doing already, such as providing sufficient and timely notice of relevant actions to both parties. But for many community colleges, especially smaller institutions, some of the new requirements may go beyond current practice. For instance, the Title IX coordinator, investigator, and decision maker (or makers) for any given case must all be different people. The "single investigator" model, where one person plays more than one of these roles, would no longer be allowed, potentially straining personnel resources at smaller institutions. In addition, colleges must make the final determination in a case in a live hearing where the parties, through their advisors, have the option to cross-examine one another. If one of the parties does not have an advisor, the institution must provide one.

Reports and Formal Complaints:  Prior regulations made it easier for complainants to inform institutions of complaints. The new language would require  a "formal complaint" process and the need to report to the Title IX Coordinator, and not just an agent of the college.   Right now students can report complaints to faculty, staff, and administrators who then convey the information to the Title IX Coordinator or at least Maxient. I am afraid that the new reporting requirement will deter people from bring forward complaints.
As is now the case, an institution is obligated to respond to all reports (under the narrower set of circumstances described above) of activity that meets the definition of sexual harassment and takes place within its education program or activity. The proposed regulations distinguish between reports and "formal complaints," which are documents signed by the complainant or, in some circumstances, the Title IX coordinator. Only upon the filing of a formal complaint is an institution obligated to launch a formal investigation and use its grievance procedures.
For reports that are not formal complaints, the institution must still respond, and the regulations put forth "supportive measures" that the institution may wish to offer the complainant (and respondent) student. These services, similar in concept to "interim measures" under previous guidance, must be non-disciplinary and at no cost to the students. The measures described in the regulation include counseling, mutual restrictions on contact between the parties, leaves of absence, increased security, and other measures.  The preamble to the regulation cites employment of these measures as a means of avoiding a more protracted and potentially charged proceeding.
Actual Notice
The change in notice requirements, will also limit the number of complaints filed as students develop strong bonds with student services and instruction staff and often feel safest reporting situation to them.  In this new model, the college would only have to respond to actual notice of incidents.
One of the most substantial changes in the proposed regulations details when an institution is deemed to have notice of possible sexual harassment to which it has an obligation to respond. Under current regulations and guidance, this obligation is triggered when a college knows or should have known about the possible harassment. Under the proposed regulations, the institution only has an obligation to respond under Title IX when it has actual notice of an alleged incident. This only occurs when a report is made to the institution's Title IX coordinator or another employee who has authority to take corrective action on behalf of the institution. This stands in stark contrast to current practice, where a report to any "responsible employee" triggers an obligation to respond. In practice, many colleges have determined that a wide swath of their employees are "responsible employees," including adjunct professors. The new regulations may spur colleges to reexamine their policies in this area.

All Best,
Claire

Subject: RE: Proposed Title IX Regulations

I do not agree with the proposed changes to Due Process - because we are so small.  Very rarely could we have the Title IX coordinator, investigator and decision maker be different people.  We don't have enough staff to spread the love! :)
I also don't agree with having to make the final determination in a case in a live hearing or having to provide an advisor if one is does not have one.  I agree with Glen's comments below regarding this matter.

WARNING: This email originated outside of Peninsula College. DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
My major areas of concern pertain to the Due Process Requirements, which I think will have and may have been designed to have a deterrent effect on reporting, as well as moving the hearing process in a decidedly litigious and quasi-jurisprudential direction.  Taking the latter concern first, the requirement to allow cross-examination of evidence and the requirement to provide an advisor (aka, counsel) are going to increase legal exposure of institutions to lawsuits and will likely result in many institutions moving away from hearing panels staffed by administrators and faculty in the direction of hiring administrative judges to handle TIX cases.  As to the first concern, the same barriers that deter survivors of sexual assault/misconduct from reporting in a legal/criminal context will now essentially be replicated in a putatively student conduct context.

Subject: Proposed Title IX Regulations

Colleagues: I am reaching out to you today to gauge your opinions about the proposed Title IX regulations from the U.S. Department of Education. We are considering submitting public comment prior to the January 28 deadline, but won't do so without your input. To frame the discussion, here is a link to the AACC summary of the proposed regulations: https://www.aacc.nche.edu/2018/11/29/aacc-summary-of-proposed-title-ix-regulations/<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fna01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2f%3furl%3dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.aacc.nche.edu%252F2018%252F11%252F29%252Faacc-summary-of-proposed-title-ix-regulations%252F%26data%3d02%257C01%257Cglen.cosby%2540scc.spokane.edu%257C92da663f27144bd46cbc08d665cff775%257C4dedfefa6bd04442a06c98aed0b4b8da%257C1%257C0%257C636808341217155504%26sdata%3d1CxP%252Fv%252FaGZ2XR%252BOPIgs7M4Bz%252BgKicbetQ%252F34DGlhKds%253D%26reserved%3d0&c=E,1,6h563ndE8EKxE7KPXmLH4Jo4-w2QbhskggOr37smf4IQoALd7AXsnwn0yFZUv0YFy_9Dh6iV0AKoJhTnxsrmskd0v4-fg1xXRgadNyyI_IQY4Q,,&typo=1>. If you wish to weigh in with a Reply to All on this email, please use the 7 headings in the AACC summary to organize your comments.
