ASCA’s Sexual Misconduct Institute is back!

After a pandemic-related hiatus, SMI is returning with a two-day, in-person intensive program designed to foster collaboration and engagement among participants of all experience and educational levels. Taking place at the beautiful Vanderbilt University campus in Nashville, TN, SMI features two distinct tracks designed for both the foundational and advanced attendee. The Foundations Track features an interactive, skills-based approach to the essentials of the investigation and adjudication phases of Title IX and Sexual Misconduct cases, while the Advanced Track focuses on the major intersections of Title IX with other regulatory and legal compliance areas such as the Clery Act, the NCAA, the ADA, and the First Amendment. To ensure attendees receive the best information possible, ASCA’s Presidential Title IX Task Force and Working Group collaborated to design SMI’s curriculum to address member feedback and provide timely information related to hot-button issues. In short, SMI provides something of value for everyone, regardless of your experience or background with Title IX and Sexual Misconduct cases.

Throughout SMI, the curriculum shifts from theoretical and legislative requirements towards the practicing of real skills that can help participants return to their campuses primed and ready to take on any number of issues related to Title IX and Sexual Misconduct work. Because of the different track options available this year, this ASCA offering is ideal for student conduct administrators, Title IX coordinators, investigators, and campus partners who want to learn more about the intersection of student conduct, Title IX, Sexual Misconduct, and other compliance areas.

We hope to see you October 14 and 15, 2024 in Nashville, TN for ASCA’s premier of the new and improved Sexual Misconduct Institute!
