Title IX Hearing Officer and Decision-Maker: Interactive Mock Hearing Panel
Trish HIggins
Participants all play a role in this online live event! This day-long event requires registrants to prepare for their role in advance, learn their part, and prepare to testify, question, rule, or deliberate. The roles include a hearing facilitator, a voting chair, two decision-maker panelists, two parties, two advisors, and three witnesses. Then, facilitators take the participants through the hearing script per the regulations, and then facilitate deliberations.
