Title IX and Anti-Discrimination Policy Changes to Be Discussed in Upcoming Community Conversation
Faculty and staff will gain valuable insights into the new federal Title IX regulations and the College’s new Discrimination and Harassment Policy at a virtual event scheduled for 4 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 19.
“These new regulations provide significant updates for Title IX and for the first time, some colleges have had the opportunity to tailor policies specifically to their needs,” said Geoffrey Gabriel, Hartwick College Title IX Coordinator/College Compliance Officer. “This is a pivotal moment for Hartwick, as we’ve been able to customize policies that fit the College in 2024 and beyond. It’s a substantial step forward.”
Gabriel, who joined Hartwick in March 2024, has nearly 20 years of experience dealing with issues related to discrimination and harassment at various institutions across the East Coast. He emphasized the importance of the event in raising awareness about the new regulations.
“Our goal is to ensure everyone knows about these changes and the College’s compliance with the latest federal regulations,” Gabriel said. “We’ve streamlined and improved our procedures to better support the community and this event is a key part of ensuring that staff and faculty are informed."
