UCF Policy 2.012.1 Title IX Grievance Policy

Proposed revisions in alignment with new requirements under Title IX and FL HB 233 as follows:

– Addition of a statement affirming that the policy does not abridge First Amendment protected activities;

– Separation of the decision-maker role into a separate hearing chair and decision-maker roles for ease of administration of the live-hearing;

– Change of scope of the advisor’s role with respect to student conduct hearings;

– Addition of timeline for written notice of live hearing; and – Removal of statements that if a person does not submit to cross-examination then their prior statements cannot be relied upon as this provision of the Title IX Final Rule was vacated by a court of law.
