ATIXA Launches a Sixth Community of Practice & Membership Category for ADA/504 Coordinators
ATIXA announces the addition of an
ADA/504 Coordinator Community of Practice,
offering a specialized home for administrators with oversight of disability-based discrimination under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Communities of Practice are available as membership levels within ATIXA to the meet the unique needs of particular members' practice areas or constituencies.
This newly added membership category is for those who serve their schools or colleges as an ADA/504 Coordinator or have an interest in disability law, policy, and best practices. Many Title IX Coordinators also have overlapping responsibility as ADA/504 Coordinators, and member benefits are tailored specifically to the unique requirements of the position.
Based on member feedback, ATIXA is implementing a dedicated listserv within this Community of Practice, and staffing this specialized listserv with two resident ADA/504/disability law experts.
Saundra Schuster, J.D.
and
Paul Grossman, J.D.
will offer a concierge-level of service to members that assures high-quality and timely responses to all listserv questions and member needs.
Join ATIXA today
as part of the ADA/504 Coordinator membership, available for $199 annually.All Full and Super members receive access to this Community of Practice at no additional cost as part of existing member benefits. To learn more about how to join ATIXA as a Full or Super Member, visit our
website
.
Additional ATIXA Communities of Practice and Membership opportunities include:
Communities of Practice offer stratified membership pricing, making them more accessible to those who do not need or want Full Membership. Communities of Practice facilitate and support the lively exchange of information, resources, and ongoing dialogue around Title IX, sexual violence, and gender equity. This new
Community of Practice affords the levels of expertise you've come to expect from ATIXA, applied to the disability field, with a special focus on the intersections between disability and Title IX. By creating connections with other peers within a Community of Practice, participants have the opportunity to discuss successes and challenges, identify trends and best practices, and offer issue-specific guidance, all while breaking down the barriers of isolation in their work.

Clery Reporting Requirements and the Hierarchy Rule
A student reports to a campus administrator that they have been experiencing multiple types of assault, including rape, sodomy, fondling, and physical abuse, over a six-month period of time by a former partner. For the purposes of Clery, does each type of assault need to be a separate report?
