Different kinds of problems that they might encounter. One of the things montana has done is to create a unified set of policies that make clear what the process is. And another thing that a lot of our consent decrees and agreements with schools provide for is engaging an expert consultant. There are people who know what works on campuses and who have had lots of experience in helping schools to structure policies in providing training materials and in conduct ng the training. And ensuring that they have an adviser who for whom this isnt the first time and who can provide that expertise is very important. Montana is also a grantee of the office of violence against women. And that grant comes along with Technical Assistance that can enable them to mount kind of holistic response on campus. Another thing that i think is quite important is Data Collection and reporting because a university can only get a sense of whether it has a problem by keeping track of the problems and the complaints
Funded its post secondary institutions, not funding institutions that had served large proportions of mexican americans, including many of those along the south texas border. And deborah has written about this. In effect, identifying that south texas was an education desert. We see that that is still the case with one of the counties that nick hillman talked about. People in my own department actually teach students at that institution that nick hillman identified. We actually bring a program out to them. So that they can have access to doctoral education and policy studies. Even though i live in a metropolitan area, even though we are located in a metropolitan area, we have to reach out to them. We are held to the same standards, texas is one of the 25 states with performance funding.

One, of course, is title ix of the education amendments of 1972, which we enforce in conjunction with the department of education and other agencies that Fund Institutions of Higher Education. We also enforce title iv of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bans, moamong other thing, sex discrimination in Public Schools and schools of Higher Education. In addition we address the violent control act and the state streets act. And those statutes allow us to take a holistic approach, because it gives us jurisdiction over sex discrimination by Law Enforcement agencies. And as senator tester knows, we worked very cooperatively with both the university of montana at missoula, and the Missoula Police department to enter into agreements to address the handling of Sexual Assault complaints by students and members of the Missoula Community using all of these statutes. And i thi
Federal money cannot chase the declines were experiencing so long. And that reorientation of the traditional bargain about the feds, the states, the institutions and families and philanthropy together paying for education is something that we need to improve. Fortunately, its been stabilizing in many states, and maybe we are moving in that positive direction. But the something that is overlooked, if we think about the danger side of an allocation that follows institutions that are effective in educating first generation underrepresented students, those who have who do, indeed, pose an educational challenge for institutions and whose graduation is the reason for our investing so much in student aid. We look at the negative side of who might lose. I would encourage us all to think about the Positive Side of having the information that would allow us to reinforce the resources and grow the resources to those institutions who have the kind of track record that many of you were talking abou
