New #TitleIX blog post up from @EDcivilrights regarding the NIBRS and SRS definitions of sexual assault, plus some additional information on dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. Let's take a peek, shall we? www2.ed.gov/about/offices/…
The blog post discusses the NIBRS and SRS definitions. Previous guidance from the OPEN Center--not reflected in this blog--suggests that schools can pick their own definitions as long as they cover all of the offenses described. atixa.org/open-center/ho…
The blog does not repeat the threshold language re: domestic violence to remind that it is only sexual harassment if it is "on the basis of sex." The definition given will, in many states, encompass child abuse and other domestic violence that is not related to sex.
Bottom line: there are still clarifications that would be helpful. But it's another piece of the compliance puzzle.
