Campus SaVE Act: What You Need to Know

Center for Excellence in Higher Education Law and Policy

Thursday, March 20, 2014, 1 - 2pm CDT

  

Last year federal lawmakers amended the Clery Act with the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act, which requires colleges and universities to design and implement preventive and educational programs for students, faculty and staff. It goes into effect this March, and full compliance should be demonstrated by October. While everyone wants to improve safety on campuses, the idea of fulfilling compliance requirements can be daunting. This online seminar covers all the compliance basics. You will learn how to establish protocols for communicating with survivors and alleged assailants, appropriate methods for collecting evidence and documenting accusations, and investigation strategies appropriate for domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and other crimes.  Learn more about the Campus SaVE Act: What You Need to Know webinar.

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) 2014 Town Hall Meetings Initiative

IHEs and campus/community coalitions recommended by a constituency organization will receive an invitation from SAMHSA to register online as event hosts. These events should be held between March and June 2014. The first 300 IHEs to register will be offered a $500 planning stipend from SAMHSA.
