Description

This webinar is an event sponsored by an official ASCA Business Partner, RealResponse. 

Misconduct takes many forms - hazing, academic integrity, Title IX, sexual harassment and more. After years of focus and discussion on several areas of misconduct, colleges and universities still struggle to keep up with shifting regulations, sufficient resources, and damaging liabilities. Despite all this, there are bright spots.

The Stop Campus Hazing Act received bipartisan support and was passed into legislation at the end of 2024. Technology tools are available and can help with proactive misconduct prevention, reporting, and effective documentation. Experts and practitioners will discuss these developments, compliance considerations, and technology tools and what they mean for the following:

• Identifying and implementing effective practices for misconduct prevention
• Understanding the Stop Campus Hazing Act and how it aligns with Clery Act requirements
• Navigating a world where every misstep seems like a liability
• Reviewing the utility of RealResponse in supporting compliance, data collection, and reporting

Learning Outcomes: 

• Learn more information about the Stop Campus Hazing Act (CSAEd™ Domain: Leadership)
• Receive effective and useful practices for hazing prevention as well as for other forms of misconduct (CSAEd™ Domain: Crisis and Risk Management)
• Gain insight into the scope and costs of hazing and misconduct liabilities (CSAEd™ Domain: Crisis and Risk Management)
• Assess new tools that help support anti-hazing law requirements (CSAEd™ Domain: Assessment and Evaluation)
