Seeking Title IX advisors
|
UTA is seeking volunteers for the role of Title IX advisor. Title IX requires that the University provide individuals to advise participants in the Title IX process, which can be worrying for students and employees. So that advisors can provide participants in a Title IX grievance process with assistance and support, they are trained on UTA’s Title IX policy, as well as other policies that may be implicated during a Title IX investigation. The time commitment for advisors is generally only a few hours each semester. If you are interested, please email TitleIX@uta.edu. There is training throughout the year. The next training is Wednesday, July 12.
