Welcome and Instructions
II.
Discussion and Presentation by Laura Hacquard (HacquardL@missouri.edu) of the MU Women’s
Center and Danica Wolf (wolfds@missouri.edu) of the MU Relationship and Sexual Violence
Prevention Center
a. Notes from our discussion about Title IX
i. You will know people are getting the required education because the online programs
that many of our campuses will use have recording features that will track this for you.
1. Many online options were discussed
a. Haven Everfi (~45 minutes) (Used by UCM)
b. Alcohol Edu (~2.5 hours when combined with Haven Everfi) (UCM)
c. MyStudentBody.com (~60-90 minutes) (Southeast)
i. Required to get an 1100/1750
ii. Encouraged to do this in orientation classes

f.
Every Choice- Dorothy Edwards
g. United Educators (free!) (Geared towards faculty and staff)
h. Campus Clarity
i.
HR- Workplace Answers (UCM)
j.
UM System has an online training for faculty and staff
i. Could look into adapting options like this
2. As this is a federal requirement, schools can legally put a hold on enrollment for
students who do not comply
ii. The impact on those doing distance education is unknown.
1. Columbia College deals with this often due to their number of campuses- they
typically try to find hotlines and resources in the student’s area to refer them to.
2. UCM defines a student as someone who is degree-seeking, so many distance
students do not fall under the education requirement
a. Definition of what qualifies as a student can be found in your code of
conduct for most campuses
iii. Other ways information can be dispersed:

if you have ideas
