This FREE online session is designed to help students clearly understand their rights under federal civil rights law and what colleges and universities must do to ensure a safe, non-discriminatory learning environment.
Led by Sara Colb, ADL’s Director of Advocacy, this training will walk through:
- What kinds of conduct qualify as prohibited discrimination, including different treatment, harassment, and retaliation.
- Which students are protected under Title VI, including those targeted for their Jewish and Israeli identities.
- How a hostile environment is legally defined and the signs students should look for.
- What schools are required to do once they know about a hostile environment, including when incidents involve protected speech.
- Real examples of compliance challenges and how they were addressed.
A live Q&A will follow, giving students the opportunity to ask questions about their rights, reporting pathways, and what effective institutional responses should look like.
