1. Campus Sexual Assault Title IX Court Rulings Added To SOC Web Site 2. Campus Crime In The News
	Campus Sexual Assault Title IX Court Rulings Added To SOC Web Site Since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1999 that schools could be held liable under "Title IX" for failing to properly respond to student-on-student sexual harassment this law, perhaps best known for improving women's access to college athletics, has rapidly emerged as a tool that college and university campus rape victims have been able to use to sue their schools for failing to properly respond to their complaints. The precedent setting court rulings that began this trend, as well as the most current rulings showing how federal courts across the country are interpreting these rulings are now available in the "Lawyers" section of the Security On Campus web site. In addition to the precedent setting rulings, there is also commentary from noted civil rights attorney Wendy Murphy, Title IX guidance from both the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice, as well as rulings from the DOE's Office for Civil Rights dealing with campus sexual assault cases. This information is critical for both college and university officials who deal with sexual assault complaints, as well as lawyers who represent campus crime victims so please be sure to check out this important new resource available at http://www.securityoncampus.org/lawyers/titleix.html.
