<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D">Joe, while there is no longer the same training detail that was set forth in the rescinded guidance, you are correct that a training requirement lives on in the Clery Act (it came in as part
of VAWA, which did a number of things, including amending Clery). If you look at the words and phrases I’ve highlighted in bold type below, you will see that it is much less specific about training but if you add up all the times they use “education programs
and campaigns” and “awareness campaigns” it becomes pretty clear that training is necessary to fulfill all these obligations. See Clery regulations at 34 CFR section 668.46(b). (This link should get you there: <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=a8f453df36d158627ae5c5c58593cb9d&mc=true&node=se34.3.668_146&rgn=div8">https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=a8f453df36d158627ae5c5c58593cb9d&mc=true&node=se34.3.668_146&rgn=div8</a>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Dave: AAG Derek Edwards reported at the spring WSSSC meeting that the Title IX requirement to offer Title IX training to new students and employees was in “rescinded guidance” that is no longer applicable.
Ed McCallister (copied here) and I met with Everfi representatives last week (we contract with them to offer the training at all our colleges), and when I mentioned this they countered that the requirement “lived” in VAWA and was still applicable. I asked
them for documentation of that, but haven’t received anything yet. This is not urgent because our contract with Everfi still has approximately 1 year left on it, but we do need to get clear on it soon for planning purposes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
