The Cost of a Title IX Overhaul (Podcast Link)

Dr. Andy Luptak is a retired Vice-President of Student Life at Concordia University Wisconsin, and I had the privilege to do some consulting work for Andy at Concordia, in addition to working with Andy as a part of the Association for Student Conduct Administration (ASCA). Andy had oversight of Title IX compliance while at Concordia, and is very well respected in higher education. This interview, conducted by Dr. Sarah Holtan, provides a good overview of the history of the application of Title IX to sex-based discrimination and harassment, a summary of the expected changes coming from the Biden Administration, and his thoughts on how to build a strong Title IX compliance process. The implications of failing to be in compliance with Title IX are also addressed.
