This online training program utilizes video-based modules to ensure a thorough understanding of Title IX obligations. Non-compliance with this mandatory training may result in disciplinary measures, including written warnings, reprimands, or other administrative actions. These actions may extend to the denial of requests for leave, travel, reimbursements, or other employment-related benefits.
