A BIT More Connected (with Tim Cason, M.Ed., and Makenzie Schiemann, Ph.D., M.S.)

<p>More Likely Than Not, an ATIXA podcast, is for general information, educational, and discussion purposes only. It’s not legal advice. If you’re dealing with a specific issue, consult your institution’s general counsel or a qualified attorney familiar with Title IX and applicable state laws. Facts, policies, and jurisdiction matter. </p><p>Safety and well-being are shared institutional responsibilities, and Title IX and Behavioral Intervention Teams (BITs) work best when they communicate rather than operate in silos.</p><p>In this episode, TNG Consulting and NABITA colleagues Tim Cason, M.Ed., and Makenzie Schiemann, Ph.D., M.S., join Kayleigh and Joe to explore how campuses can coordinate across Title IX and BIT/CARE teams to assess risk, support students, and respond more holistically to complex situations.</p><p>The conversation examines when Title IX Coordinators should loop in the BIT/CARE team, how institutions can share information appropriately without compromising privacy, and why early coordination matters. Tim and Makenzie also discuss the risks of isolated decision-making, the role of FERPA in information sharing, and how campuses can build stronger systems of support before concerns escalate.</p><p>If you have ever wondered how institutions can balance compliance, care, and campus safety responsibilities effectively, we are more likely than not covering it in this week’s episode.</p>

Can Advocates Serve as Advisors?

<p>More Likely Than Not, an ATIXA podcast, is for general information, educational, and discussion purposes only. It’s not legal advice. If you are navigating a specific issue, always consult with your institution’s general counsel or a qualified attorney familiar with Title IX and applicable state laws. Your specific facts, policy, context, and, of course, state laws matter.</p><p>After what felt like a torrential downpour of Title IX-related developments, practitioners may be enjoying a brief reprieve. But the landscape is anything but calm. The Department of Education’s functions are being distributed to other federal entities, including the Department of the Treasury. This raises a key question: what does this fragmentation mean for enforcement?</p><p>For some, states are filling the gaps. Following New York’s lead in enacting a law requiring a Title VI coordinator and other mandates, states like Georgia, Missouri, and Colorado are introducing similar legislation. This signals a shift toward state-driven civil rights enforcement. Ongoing litigation, such as the federal government suing Harvard, California suing the federal government, and continued legal battles in Maine, continues to complicate the push-and-pull over authority.</p><p>Against this backdrop, we turn to a lively ATIXA listserv debate: should victim advocates serve as advisors in the Title IX grievance process? Under the 2020 regulations, parties have the right to choose an advisor of their choice. On one hand, advocates bring trust, familiarity, and a strong understanding of institutional processes. At the same time, the advisor role can become adversarial, raising concerns about confidentiality, dual roles, and how advocacy support is perceived. The conversation explores three main schools of thought and lands, unsurprisingly, somewhere in the middle.</p><p>If you have ever wondered whether an advocate can step into the advisor role without creating confusion, conflict, or unintended harm, we are more likely than not covering it in this week’s episode.</p>
