1:00 – 4:00 p.m. Eastern

Section 1: Review of a Policy-Informed Investigation & Understanding Relevance

Our expert faculty will help you understand the value and importance of interpreting your sexual harassment policy definitions and factual requirements that are specific to your campus. You will also review the importance of the term “relevance”, introduced in the May 2020 Final Regulations, that is by design linked to the elements of your policy definitions.

Section 2: Policy Grid Demo

Now that you understand the theory behind developing a well-informed questioning plan, our expert faculty will walk you through a demonstration of assembling a “policy grid,” with one of the more common sexual harassment policy definitions. You will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding this approach during the live demonstration.

Section 3: Developing Your Own Questioning Plan

One of the best ways to understand and apply this new strategy into your current investigation process is to give you the opportunity to practice assembling your own policy grid. You will also have a chance to collect feedback and refine your approach to build your understanding of this best practice.
