Title 9 at LSC

  In 1972 President Richard Nixon signed Title nine into law.

  Title nine was an historic executive order yet the rights it provides to students is not fully understood by many students.

According to the University of Southern California Office Of Sexual Harassment.

Title IX forbids sex discrimination in all university student services and academic programs including, but not limited to, admissions, financial aid, academic advising, housing, athletics, recreational services, college residential life programs, health services, counseling and psychological services

Title nine not only applies to schools but also government entities as well as private employers that receives  federal funding.

Every school that receives federal funding is required to have a Title nine coordinator on campus. This person is responsible for making sure the school compiles with Title. On the Lyndon State College campus that person is Jonathan Davis.

This person must make sure that sexual incidents of sexual harassment are properly investigated.

I recently spoke with Davis about his role as Title nine coordinator.

Podcast outline

     As many of you know as the Critic Photo Editor I take a lot of photos and write a lot of stories many of which don't find their way in the Critic.

   I will use my Podcast as a way to discus stories that don't make it into the Critic. I will also use this Podcast to post interviews.

Podcasts

   The first podcast I listened to was the Washington Post podcast. I was disappointed with the one I listened to. I was expecting a podcast about politics I chose at random and they were talking about baseball and I could care less about baseball. However if someone did like baseball I can see how they would enjoy it. It was under news and politics and the title was ask the Washington Post so I had no idea it was going to be able baseball it was very misleading.

   The second one I chose was a TED one it was about penalizing nonviolent protestors. I like that TED kept the podcast short and they used it more of a tease to get people to watch the entire at TED.com. I think this a great strategy.
