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

This is really an important challenge because i have not had as much experience making laws as the folks at this table, but i have tried to enforce them over the years. Making a statute enforceable is a real art. Part of it depends on crafting a penalty that is realistic and enforceable. My sense is that we still have work to do on the penalties under title ix first because the penalty hence the students more than anyone else.

So i would appreciate your continuing to think and senator Claire Mccaskill is right. I have
And likely to commit it again. Accommodations under title ix are available regardless of whether you decide to go through the adjudication proceeding. Youre saying theyre not applied fairly even though they should be getting the same . Yes, what im saying is basically, if one student files a title 9 complaint in their investigation, their individual investigation, ocr is going in and interviewing other students who were sexually assaulted on that campus, and went through those same proceedings. And faced the same barriers and faced the same harassment from administrators. I see what youre saying. Now i understand. Those students, who have reported in this case. I see what youre saying. I understood the point you were making. I think the guidance is fairly clear that thats not what you just described is out of compliance. And so im not im not to judge another institution sitting here, but certainly, i feel like were very clear that if a student informs an appropriate person whos respons
