Like the rest of the UVA community, I read the Rolling Stones article today. Most of the article was sadly not news to me, but in my discussion of the article tonight, [had a question, ‘The atticie discussed how Title IX requires schools to give victims the three options of going to the police or the ‘other two in-house options. | found this very odd that a university is required to be capable of adjudicating this felony as distinc from all other ones that would be sent directly to @ police force without the same interests in the ‘outcome that a university may have. It comes across to me as providing an opportunity for universities to cover up crimes lke this. If one was to tell a high school teacher or administrator of such a crime, they would be required by law to report the incident because it was a crime, | find it odd that colleges are not held to the same standard and Instead are required and encouraged to put together a justice system of sorts that they are not designed to do. | guess what my real question here is whether 'm missing something in my understanding of these prooeedings that makes them more beneficial for a student than going to the cops may be. | know there is so much more to the issue than this, but because this was something | had no! thought about as much previously, it really stuck out to me. Any light you could shed in the area would be deeply epprectated. I hope you're doing well!

The collage will delay its Tile IX investigation of a compiaint in order to allow for the police to investigate first, but the college will not wait to provide civil rights remedies while the courts move forward (criminal processes take significantly longer than the 60 day period required for ttle ix). Survivors are presented with ALL options -- using just school, using just police, or using both ~ it's entirely up to them, but they are never precluded from using one or the other. | ound this very odd that a university is required to be capable of adjudicating this felony as distinct from all other ‘ones that would be sent direcly to a police force without the same interests in the outcome that a university may have, + Title IX requires that universities adjudicate any form of sexual harassment (which they read to include sexual violence/rape/stalking/ipy) as a matter of civil rights, not as a felony. When adjudicated by a school, what a person is being accuised of is not a felony rape, but rather an abridgment of another student's fundamental right to an education. That also speaks to why the school and the police are supposed to ‘operate ideally as parallel processes if the survivor chooses, because the police deal with it as felony rather than sex discrimination civil rights violation, psa gogt saith 28 -Rolling420Stondus-tesench-qutryahoL Be Pr6BMGI6RBcini Dee... 2snroia UVa Mil -A Question abot Tite IX It comes across to me as providing an opportunity for universities to cover up crimes like this. If one was to tell a high schoo! teacher or administrator of such a crime, they would be required by law to report the incident because itwas a crime. + High schools are actually ALSO required to investigate and provide the same types of remedies that colleges do under Title IX. The only real difference is that because high schools would see sex harassmentiviolence cases involving minors, its the fact that they are minors that requires mandatory police referral. | find it odd that colleges are not held to the same standard and instead are required and encouraged to put together a justice system of sorts that they are not designed to do. + The difference is one between criminal v. civil rights-~ "justice" and "remedy" | guess what my real question hore is whether I'm missing something in my understanding of these proceedings that makes them more beneficial fora student than going to the cops may be, + The benefit is that Title IX requires schools to offer restorative options (counseling, academic accommodations, no contact orders, etc), rather than purely punitive ones as the justice system does. Adidionally, t provides an avenue that covers a wide range of non-criminal betavior that is still considered sex discrimination that infringes on a student’ right to an education. For example--distibuting naked photos of someone without their consent is NOT criminal in virginia, whereas itis sanctionable under tile ix proceedings as “sexual explotation” Hopefully some of this helps! {uted tox hier} Katlyn Williamson To: Emily Renda Hey Emily, Tue, Dec 2, 2014 at 3:16 PM | really appreciate you taking the time to do this.
