Supporting LGBTQ+ Survivors on Campus

Back by popular demand, last year\u27s Supporting LGBTQ+ Survivors on Campus has been revamped for the new state of Title IX. Historically, Title IX protections have provided a much-needed resource for addressing sexual violence on campus. However, the benefits of Title IX may not apply equally to all students in practice. This workshop will discuss how the history of Title IX raises questions about its applicability for all sexual violence, and ultimately explore strategies for addressing sexual violence in lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ+) communities. How effectively does Title IX address same-sex violence? What other policy and programmatic options exist? How can we improve support for LGBTQ+ students? Attendees will learn a framework for analyzing policy changes that they can bring back to their campuses
